In Response To: Re: Wild place, doing wild things. (Greg Stamer)

: I found Greenland to be so dramatic and vast, the settlements so tiny and
: remote, that I felt very humble, small and insignificant against the
: immense backdrop of the landscape. Perhaps this is one definition of true
: wilderness. This sensation is much more pleasing to me than what I feel in
: crowded landscapes that are dominated by man.

It exciting for me to hear you two talk about an exciting wild place like Greenland and to know you have actually experienced this isolated unpolluted part of the world. When I was young I use to dream of someday owning and flying a pontoon plane from the U.S. and land in an inland area to fish virgin isolated waters. Of course this never happend to me so I really appreciate your stories.

Thanks
John
