In late october, in a small bus equipped for camping, Mr Ogburn set out alone for upper Maine. From Mount Desert Island, he traveled south with the season, pausing for intensive explorations of Cape Cod and Nantucket, the Long Island beaches, and the Chincoteague and Assateague Islands off the Virginia shore, until he reached the Outer Banks of North Carolina. He brought back an account of a world that repays exertion with exhiliration, a world on which man's hold is precarious and in which he faces the ultimate questions of existence.

I was especially taken by the ways in which he talks about environmental degradation, in a way that acknowledges the danger and evil of up, but faces the whole thing with a sort of resignation toward the inevitable destruction of our world that could have come right out of a modern environmentalist's essays. (It is also interesting to look at the things that got better faster than he expected - and the things that got worse faster.)
