...everyone staying at the park and trade stories about their road adventures over the shared meal. "Our happiness and health are much better in this lifestyle," says Russell, 64. "We have no worries here." "The only downside is that we don't have a church anymore," says his neighbor Wyn Hull, 73, who was active in her Greenville, S.C., parish before she and her husband took to the road seven years ago. "It's nice to visit other churches, but you have to make more of an effort...
...pieces in Thoughts Unsaid, now Forgotten, a show of the artist Cerith Wyn Evans’ work currently up at the MIT’s List Visual Art Center, is a black chandelier hanging from the ceiling that blinks poetry in Morse code while the same poetry is simultaneously displayed on an LCD screen hanging on a nearby wall. Another piece is a looped playback of a recording (found by Evans in the MIT Museum archives) of a man engraving students’ names on their slide rules, and yet another is the original 1960s console from MIT?...
...phones to summon a car along a fire trail. Caley may have put up with flour, dried beef and the birds the party's dog caught, but these walkers have freeze-dried kangaroo korma and bolognese, fresh snow peas, peanut butter and macadamia nuts.

...occasions seemed to open at the party's feet. Often they had to retrace their weary steps. The bush remains as trackless today as it was then, a labyrinth of wood and rock.

Macqueen, his battered hat shading keen eyes and deep laugh lines, navigates with Caley's journal bearings as if he had accompanied the explorer himself. For 40 years the unflappable historian has ventured deep into the bush to retrace the footsteps of long-ago explorations through some...
...small intrusions into a stern wilderness. There are few walkers out here, and standing on one of the many ridges, the view in every direction is of implacable bush. There are still unexplored gullies out there; in one such nook, north of Caley's route, the Wollemi pine, which Wyn Jones helped identify, made international headlines when it was found in 1994 after thousands of years of isolation. Macqueen and Jones still find new Aboriginal art sites on their wanderings far from the track. A deflated helium balloon found among the bushes is as surprising as a bottle washed...
