“Some say God created the world out of loneliness. Others say the world was created because the Almighty loves stories.

“Along the Merced River there’s a deep sense of peace, yet it coexists with danger. No matter how sedate the river may appear, it’s as wild as the other creatures of Yosemite.

Nature doesn’t stop and make exceptions for people who get in its way.”
