Hippie Notes: Confessions of an Aging Forest Hippie (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Working and playing in the Angeles National Forest for over 30 years has meant that I have seen a seemingly endless parade of outrageous things that people do in the forest, and over the years I have had my fair share of wild animal and wild human encounters that have been mildly disturbing, to say the least.

This collection of short stories and anecdotes recount just some of the incidents I have been a part of, from arsonists setting fires to people with guns shooting within campgrounds, from clothing-optional people urinating on the highway to people hunting snakes with handguns, over the years that I have been hiking and bicycing riding up and down the mountains I have seen and experienced a lot, many things of which few people ever experience.

I have collected these incidents in part so that I may never forget the things I have done, but in part to share these stories with others who might not get the opportunity to walk up a mountain pushing a bicycle at night.

The San Gabriel Mountains of Southern California has a little under 23 million people living pressed up against them, and many of those people come up in to the mountains bringing their turmoil and their lawlessness with them.

Mountain lions call these forests their homes, as do numerous bears, even more numerous deer, and over the years I've managed to avoid serious injury as both the flora and the fauna of the Angeles National Forest has crossed my path even as I sought to avoid them.

Autorenporträt

Aging hippie, avid backpacker, hiker, bicycle rider, surfer, I have lived on and off the fringes of society for decades, at times dropping out of civilized society for years at a time. Now that I'm older with responsibilities I no longer live among the displaced, the homeless, and among those hiding from others however in my writings I hope to describe something of what life has been like for me up until now.

Currently I am a software engineer getting paid very good wages working on maintaining and repairing transportation infrastructure within the United States, putting my self-taught skills to work doing something positive for society in an effort to give back something of what I took when I was living on the streets, stealing food, being a public hazard. In this respects I am highly respected and well thought of among the nation's elite software engineering professionals, and have the approval and admiration of the outdoors community where I also volunteer my time and effort for the benefit of future generations -- assuming there are any.
