has become so obvious in this day of automated recreational equipment that who needs to point out that a park is just a sterile growth of trees, equipped with garbage cans —camps that resemble subdivisions — and if you’re lucky, an amphitheater, where a friendly, city-bred Thoreau, college professor, or Park Ranger can show nature slides. r- The modern-day hiker is like the golfer; each follows a pleasantly exhausting route. This artifice, when the hiker is supposedly wandering the wilds, creeps in, threatening the investor of European boots, intricate pack, and freezedried foods, with a feeling of fatalistic foolishness.
