I could feel, reaching the top of the hill, that it had been far too long since I last wandered. Before me stretched a panorama of sandstone monoliths dissected by oak-choked draws and punctuated with grassy swales. I felt the excitement of knowing that I was the only human being for miles in a place of no trails. Just then I could have been a boy of two exploring his backyard, an adolescent visiting the distant woods for the first time, a young adult entering his first true wilderness, or a middle-aged underworld guide; a common thread exists in all moments of uncharted exploration.
