It's easy to forget how important it is to be outside, to sweat and climb a mountain, to feel the cold wind, remember what it is to have a change of season and to be thankful. Portland is a great city, but my favorite day of the conference was the day we spent hiking.
“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity...”-- John Muir
