Excellent. A great way to reconnect with Muir’s writings. Do specific forests resound the same for you?

Charles Wright walked in a forest in Japan. He sent botanical specimens to Asa Gray at Harvard circa 1860’s. Gray saw the specimens were so similar to New England forests that he thought Charles Darwin was correct. God could not have created such similar understory trees, twice, in such distant locals. What we learn from a walk in two woods.
