 Skillz Session: 5 Things you Need Before Heading into the Backcountry Quote of the Week: “Each new year is a surprise to us.  We find that we had virtually forgotten the note of each bird, and when we hear it again, it is remembered like a dream, reminding us of a previous state of existence.  How happens it that the associations it awakens are always pleasing, never saddening, reminiscences of our sanest hours.  The voice of nature is always encouraging.” -Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
