“No man is an island…he’s a peninsula.” – Jefferson Airplane

Alturas trails were last groomed on Wednesday, January 20th. Further grooming is scheduled for Friday the 22nd and Saturday the 23rd – the birthdays of poets John Donne and Derek Walcott.

“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were: any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.” – John Donne

“The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself at your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other’s welcome.” – Derek Walcott.
