In particular, I’d like to thank the people who answer the phone and greet visitors at parks and conservation areas. These unsung heroes share their passion for a place with everyone who visits and many of them helped me discover highlights I might have overlooked. Thanks also to the staff at great local bookstores, who really care about their customers, including Terry Needham from Novack’s and Nancy Frater at Booklore. Thanks also to three exceptional high school teachers: John Nephew for introducing me to glaciers, Hal Babcock for helping me appreciate history and the late Ina Healey, for inspiring my love of words. Thanks also to mom, dad, Lorrey, Kimm, Keelan, Chloe, Manny, Pedro, Paul and Arial for exploring the trails with me.
