...these particular 100 acres this spring, I am unable to find any certain tracks. The forest rings with health: soft, undisturbed duff underfoot, soil of the centuries carpeted with trillium, wild violets, mushrooms, lupine, ancient lichens and mosses--an outrageous diversity that is so rare elsewhere in the West. Like some lost explorer, I make little maps on scraps of paper about what I find, and I wonder what the future will bring.

Behind him straggled a collection of other hikers, both natural and synthetic, such as had seldom been seen together since the invention of the safety bicycle put an end to the Sunday trillium hunt. Editorial Writers Merlo Pusey and Robert Estabrook of the Washington Post (which advocates building a parkway along the canal) were almost lost in the throng.
