It's the Magnolia lined drive to a very exclusive club. The initiation fees are high, the dues are a stern test, and the fellow members are a select lot who have been admitted not by birthright but by passion, dedication, fitness, skill, wisdom, and careful planning. Bumblers, posers, and wannabes are weeded out quickly. A tip of the hat to those who have paid their dues and can travel safely, confidently, and comfortably in the wilds when the days are short and the temps are low. An encouraging word to the aspirants. Learn and practice your lessons well, seek knowledge from those more experienced, and move humbly through the mountains as you study and grow.

Getting deeper and deeper, to where you won't even cross an animal track, is so much more fulfilling than side or what is now called backcountry. The true "backcountry" is the salve of the soul.
