The first is because my last name is proudly Muir. That's kind of dropping a f= bomb in some rooms. I do have some type of root. My grandfather also immigrated from Scotland to avoid the Great Depression and I don't know if you know that Muir harkens back to the moors of Scotland and there's not a lot of people outside of CA know how to pronounce it right especially in the Midwest. They don't know the trivia which man gave the National;Park concept to Teddy Roosevelt???<br /><br />But your kayak took me to another level because for over 10 years I've been a quadriplegic granted one functional arm. And other bloggers feet and this time your kayak let me see the world. This post was like buddah to me. T hank you for both level. This has been my longest post EVER.

What a beautiful area to go kayaking. Incredible....and then to find out they want to drill??!!!! It's a constant battle. We are fighting Rosemont mines with our Santa Rita mountains. That would be terrible news. I hope that something goes into place to protect and ensure this haven safe for generations to come.
