Emily in the Wilderness (1)
Emily was unhappy if she couldn't wash her hair every day, and her working definition of wilderness was any place where she had to pee standing up. She quoted Woody Allen, "Nature and I are two." Still, she was always game for new experiences, so she walked with me to the bottom of the Grand Canyon on 26 December 1987,
