The American WEST.

That meant something different once upon a time.

The goal was to win the race to the Pacific.

For the Pacific was known to be GOLD.

Nowadays, there are far fewer things that glitter.

Where man can turn from the diminished promise lands are the lands overlooked and dashed past. 

The lands of sprawling Rocky Mountains, and true rugged individual spirit UNALTERED and UNBROKEN.

The way of the homesteader is still alive.

Nature is not boxed out of the dynamic. 

Nature is taken for the good and the bad.

The good is a gift of LIFE.

The bad forces man to be STEADFAST.

Such a way of life can only bring wisdom.

This is a great deal of that wisdom.
