This book covers the journeys through time and places of two bothers, Allan and Bruce, enamored by rural and remote landscapes, particularly wilderness areas. The brother's early interests were in hiking, camping, and wilderness. Their childhood was shaped by a tantalizing wilderness next door, the Bob Marshal Wilderness of Monatana, and memorable family backpacking events. Watching from the treetops as a grizzly bear shreds your tent, sleeping bag, and miscellaneous gear had a formative impression on the brother's futures. Thanks to their Mom and Dad for the atypical childhood! The early…mehr
This book covers the journeys through time and places of two bothers, Allan and Bruce, enamored by rural and remote landscapes, particularly wilderness areas. The brother's early interests were in hiking, camping, and wilderness. Their childhood was shaped by a tantalizing wilderness next door, the Bob Marshal Wilderness of Monatana, and memorable family backpacking events. Watching from the treetops as a grizzly bear shreds your tent, sleeping bag, and miscellaneous gear had a formative impression on the brother's futures. Thanks to their Mom and Dad for the atypical childhood! The early careers of Allan and Bruce continued the theme of being outdoor focused, particularly in rural and remote landscapes. Their careers in geology/hydrology and rang management/remote sensing led to divergent experiences but they both maintained the allure of nature, landscape scenery, novel dilemmas, and crafty solutions. With the arrival of retirement, the brothers refocused on a shared interest and passion for exploring and adventures in the middle of nowhere. They sought to experience and appreciate nature in the wilds. Their stories and amazing color photographs let them share their experiences with you. Follow the brothers through their adventures in the mountains, woodlands, and deserts (Bob Marshal Wilderness, Montana; Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona; Sawtooth Wilderness, Idaho; The Gila Wilderness; New Mexico, Wind River mountains, Wyoming; and Big Bend National Park, Texas). It is hoped that this book will motivate you to lace up your boots and explore and enjoy your public lands.
Bruce K. Wylie attained a Bachelor of Science in Forestry and Range Management from the University of Montana in 1979. His Master of Science was in Range Science from New Mexico State University in 1989. His Ph. D was in Range Science with a minor in Remote Sensing and was achieved in 1991 from New Mexico State University. Bruce's focus was introducing computer programs and statistics to Range Science applications initially in the African Sahel in Niger. He later used Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and field data to produce raster maps using data mining techniques. His work added remote sensing to produce national forage production maps for three different dates in the growing season. The maps were used to assess livestock forage deficiencies associated with droughts. >Bruce was involved with collecting field data needed to inform mapping algorithms. This included many remote locations in the African Sahel, the U.S. Great Plains grass and shrublands, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Inner Mongolia, and Alaskan boreal and tundra areas. Bruce retired from USGS EROS in 2020 and was lead author or co-author (Orchid ID 0000_0002_7374_1083) of over a hundred scientific journal publications, several non-scientific journals, and several books. Allan Wylie is the oldest of 5 children in a family that embraced the outdoors. As a child, family vacations included car camping and backpacking. Allan continued that tradition through adulthood and in retirement. Allan achieved a PhD and worked as a groundwater geologist. In retirement Allan remains involved in many environmental related activities including the Idaho Master Naturalist, The Peregrine Fund, and the Intermountain Bird Observatory.
