There is no substitute for time spent outdoors-even if it's a
simple walk in the woods. For many years Niels S. Nokkentved has
written about natural resources and environmental issues as a
reporter, columnist and author in the Pacific Northwest. His
writing took him deep into the deserts and mountains. He paddled
lakes and rivers and camped and hiked in Washington's Cascade
Mountains and Olympic Peninsula and in central Idaho's Sawtooth and
the Boulder-White Cloud mountains. Nokkentved's writing about the
Northwest shows a deep reverence for nature and a keen sense of
place. His intention in assembling this book is to entice people to
get outdoors by sharing his own adventures and the adventures of
others he has met along the way. He shows readers that outdoor
adventures don't require special equipment-other than good rain
gear perhaps-or extensive expeditions to exotic places. While those
sorts of thing definitely qualify, satisfying and worthwhile
adventures can be had right outside the back door. Most of his
adventures began within a half-hour of his home. Some others took a
little longer. But the most important thing he learned was to just
get outside-a simple walk along a stream or a farmer's field. He
learned that if he had his eyes and ears open, adventure was sure
to find him. And adventure is always its own reward, for as the
late Justice William O. Douglas said, "the richness of life is
found in adventure."
