End of the road Quote by Robert L. Mooers Jr
““So here it is - the end of the trail at the end of the road - and the beginning of a startlingly real wilderness. Now the navigator finds that his craft is more than vigilant attention to map and compass. Something of the mountain man's ability is needed to turn a backyard navigator into a confident route-finder.””
