   I don't have a copy in my van (or even in my home) but Ed Abbey's Monkey
Wrench Gang...that is good stuff when out and about in the back
country...The Spray (Slocum's boat's name...)  that might be a good name for
a waterboxer Westie.... (grin)

   I don't have room in the van for a permanent library...I just read em and
toss em or trade em or take em back to the library.  I do have DeLorme Map
Atlas' for all western states under the passenger seat and I find many great
adventures using those....  a quote that I may have correct.."Adventure is
not in the guidebook and beauty is not on the map"
