Megan Geers- Lane's book

I think the wilderness works to mask us from it's holiness. Mostly every wilderness in the U.S. that I've seen has looked exactly the same and yet there is a different aura to every part. In Alaska, there are many mountains and trees and waterfalls...I remember riding on a mountain road in alaska and almost hanging off the side of it as we drove along. It was beautiful and scary at the same time, so according to our book I guess it would be sublime. When we got out to take pictures, I tried to wander and there was an almost instant feeling of power among the nature there. It was not very holy as much as it was mysterious, something extraordinary had happened there although it looked like an ordinary mountain wilderness. For about half an hour I felt like I had jumped into a book.
