All things "Guidebook"

[tanya]

Here is my favorite quote, mostly because I think Jim Stiles is a dumbass:

"There are a lot of people who bad-mouth Kelsey but who secretly use his books," notes Jim Stiles, publisher of the Canyon Country Zephyr, an environmental newspaper based in Moab, Utah. "It's like pornography."

I'm guessing ol' Jim has never seen a nakid women, or copy of Hustler... because trust me.... its impossible to confuse a guidebook with pornography

Its too bad people don't just appreciate the good things in people and stop trying to find one or two things that are wrong with them. Kelsey is a legend and a sweet man. I like that he puts HIS times and experience for his hikes. He guide is written in such a way that its a bible of HIS hikes. Not a distant guide, but personal. Sort of like yours.
