Bibliography by Year

Holmes Rolston III, Paper Materials in CSU Archives, through 2022

The oldest are first. There are also some additional recognition events and records. Also there is some critical notice.

In the paper archives, materials are mostly placed in the year in which the research was conducted and the article written. Publication is often in the following or later years.

Materials through 2017 have been placed in the Paper Archives, as of April 2021.

Onward materials, though listed here, to be placed in archives later.

Books in English are in general circulation in the CSU Library, as also are books in the Roman alphabet (e.g. French, German).

Rolston translations in books not in the Roman alphabet (e.g. Chinese, Russian) are placed in the archives.

The published materials, both articles and book, can usually be found in the Colorado State University Library. They can also be found in the Rolston Library housed in the Eddy Library, Department of Philosophy, Room 323D, Eddy Hall, CSU.

Rolston drafts and finished texts are on CD archives, Rolston Documents, in various wordprocessing formats over the years. Earlier these texts are often in WordPerfect 4.2, WordPefect 5.1, which should open in any later WordPerfect format, from WordPerfect 8 onwards. Also in Microsoft Word (MS Word), this will also open WordPerfect 8 texts.

Many texts that preceded wordprocessing have later been optically scanned. Sometimes texts are in Rich Text Format (.rtf), depending somewhat on publisher specifications. All these text files are searchable for filenames and word strings in Windows: Search for Files or Folders, containing text. Later texts may also include proofs, revised proofs, etc., usually in Adobe pdf format.

Reports from refereeing of books, articles, funding proposals, external thesis examinations, destroyed, since many of these were confidential (about 300 such files). About five dozen tenure and promotion evaluations discarded.

1986. Review of Bryan G. Norton, ed. Preservation of Species, in Canadian Philosophical Reviews, 6, no. 10 (December 1986): 519-521. This journal is now titled Philosophy in Review. Norton provides the best of the philosophical and policyoriented efforts to justify conservation. Academics and policy makers here enter a stimulating colloquy about saving endangered species, strikingly illustrating how so called “applied philosophy” also requires exploring theoretical issues. Norton claims, however, that we do not always have to solve such issues to agree on management strategies. Online at: https://hdl.handle.net/10217/211066

1986. Review of Kenneth Cauthen, Process Ethics: A Constructive System, in Zygon: Journal of Religion and Science 21(1986):395-398. This is a process oriented theology, blending Christian ethics based on the Bible and moral philosophy based on reason and experience. He synthesizes rights-based and utilitarian ethics, agape and eros, love and justice, individual and community, Christian ethics and evolutionary processes, self-love and altruism.

1986. Review of A. N. Wilson, How Can We Know? An Essay on the Christian Religion, in Theology Today 43(1986):138-139. A British novelist, critic, and controversial former editor of the Spectator is here an intense disciple of Christ. How Can We Know? is A. N. Wilson's searching Apologia Pro Vita Sua, urbane, gracefully written, and a remarkable tribute to the vitality of Christianity in what many predicted to be a post-Christian generation. Wilson is shrewd in his capacity to recontact a person behind the witness of the early church and the New Testament, a person there who becomes a Presence here.

1986. July 17-21, 1986. Popo Agie Wilderness trip, with National Outdoor Leadership School, from Lander, Wyoming. With Bev Driver and others.

Drove to Lander in government car, with my son Giles. Spent most of afternoon getting outfitted, introduced to NOLS, National Outdoor Leadership School, and got on bus to go to vicinity of Dickinson Park, where we camped with Allen Brothers, outfitters, and were fed supper in a cabin there. Breakfast there, then onto bus for several miles to Dickinson Park; then on foot the rest of the day. Hiked in to Smith Lake and then to Cook Lake, where we camped throughout. Participants were U.S. Forest service wilderness rangers. Rolston was leading discussions on intrinsic values in wilderness, evenings. Hiked to Cathedral Lake, nice hike. Rather starchy rations; no meat; but, spiced up, were pretty good. A favorite is caus-caus, or couscous (from N. Africa, a cracked wheat that cooks up rather like grits, served with cheese, or with sugar as a desert). Hiked to up Lake Phyllis (not named on map), just below which there was a fresh avalanche fall with much windthrown timber (now melted), but must have avalanched in March or April. Went on to Mendarrin Lake, very nice forest floor in here, good timber (limber pines, with glacial erratics). Mendarrin lake is in a fine cirque. After several days, hiked out, nice hike. Drove home.

These studies are the work of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), financed by the Swedish Parliament, with an international staff. Beyond a shadow of a doubt any one interested in biological conservation who fails also to take serious interest in political and social issues will soon fail in biological conservation.

John Leslie is the philosopher who has most devoted himself to the analysis of recent claims that our universe is fine-tuned for producing life. Here we have the fruit of Leslie's work across two decades, summarized in one accessible book of manageable length, seriously argued but neither overly technical nor esoteric. In a companion book, Physical Cosmology and Philosophy, Leslie couples his systematic treatment with an anthology of the principal articles in the field. Together, the two books are excellent texts for a stimulating class on cosmology. Online at: https://hdl.handle.net/10217/210747

Report on Trip to China, October 1991

Flew to Beijing. The Chinese Academy of Sciences was one unit until 1977, when, for political reasons, it was separated into the Chinese Academy of (Natural) Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. There are about 80,000 persons in the Chinese Academy of Sciences. There are about 5,000 persons now attached to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and it does not receive particularly good support as the government is not altogether happy with some of the free-thinking elements there. Within the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences there are various institutes, one of which is the Institute of Philosophy. The Chinese do not have any field called the humanities, though they do have art, music, and literature, outside the social sciences.

The Institute of Philosophy contains about 260 philosophers in about ten departments:

Department of Historical Materialism, Department of Dialectical Materialism,

Department of History of Traditional Chinese Philosophy, Department of Dialectics of Nature, Department of Ethics, Department of Aesthetics, Department of History of

Western Philosophy, Department of Modern Western Philosophy, Department of Logics. The Chinese do philosophy of nature under the term "dialectics of nature," which for them also includes philosophy of science.

Lecture at Graduate School, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Host: Professor Chen King, Director, Department of Ethics, Institute of Philosophy, and Secretary,

1991. Drosera, sundew, trip in Routt National Forest, Mt. Zirkel Wilderness, Colorado, with Kevin Cook. August 21-22,1991. Maps and other materials. Drive to Walden.

Consultation with Betsy Neeley (wife of Alan Carpenter) who knows the location, and Forest Service people, for photomaps. Plans to make this a Research Natural Area. Drive to Big Creeks Lake trailhead. Backpacking hike on Grizzly-Helena trail, taking junction to Fryingpan Basin trail. Up Shafer Creek. Rolston has marked the best Drosera site on the Boettecher Lake topo, though the Frying pan Basin continues on the Mt. Zirkel topo. In two days of searching, found hundreds of Drosera, sundew, a carnivorous plant, far more than previously known. Wood frog. Extensive floating Sphagnum mat. Apparently old glacial kettles.

This is a welcome systematic, theoretical overview of the relations between science and religion, Gifford lectures culminating Barbour’s long career with a balanced and insightful appraisal. The hallmarks are critical realism, holism, and Barbour makes more investment in process philosophy. This invites further inquiry about the adequacy of a highly general process metaphysics in dealing with our particular, deeply historical world. Online at: https://hdl.handle.net/10217/210745

"A collapsed world view in which a people have trusted for most of a century is a philosophical tragedy, leaving a great nation spiritually and materially in ruins, at great cost in human suffering. Philosophy is vital in making and keeping life human."

Okefenokee Swamp, Georgia. May 14, 1993. Left Valdosta State University about 1.30 after lecturing there in the morning and evening before. With Jim Hill, philosophy professor. Freakish storm hit the town the afternoon before, after I arrived, and twisted out several dozens of trees here and there throughout town, though there was no storm at all in the part of town I was in, and I slept through it. Some said it was a tornado?

Drove to Fargo and thence to Stephen C. Foster State Park, contained within the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. This is principally a campground and boat renting and launching area. Walked around the nature trail, lots of Sphagnum moss. Pileated woodpecker, nice views. Armadillo about dark, but still nicely visible, and rather tame. I watched him at length on edge of road and crossing road. They first appeared here in the 1960's. Much evidence of their digging along the roadsides. Barred owls calling in the night, first the typical calls before we went to bed, and, in the middle of the night, a terrible skwacking and fussing, said to be a territorial fuss. Also chuck will's widow (presumably, from range maps, not a whip-poor-will).

May 15, 1993. Canoeing for the day. Five canoes, including Brad Bergstrom, Dept. of

Biology, VSU. Canoed to landing at Billy's Island, and got out and walked around. Billy Bowlegs was an Indian who lived here. Indians persisted in the swamps and raided the settlers some. There was in early 1900's here a Cypress Timber Company town. There were cypress in the swamp said to be 2,000 year old, often many hundred of years old, and all these were cut out. The typical tree we saw was cypress but only about a hundred years old. We saw a few that were three or four hundred years old. This is Pond cypress, Taxodium distichum nutans.

Pines on the island were loblolly and slash. Bergstrom think the original pine here may in fact have been longleaf, now gone due to fire suppression. Alligators. About twelve seen during the day, always at the edge of the waterway, with eyes and upper head and often upper part of the back out of the water. Passed quite near to some and they did not spook, though others did. Some seemed large, six feet or more. The "bullfrog" here is the pig frog, Rana grylio, often heard during the day, very deep voice.

Prothonotary warbles much in evidence, with notable call. Saw many dozens of them, often up close. Great crested flycatcher, several seen. Read-headed woodpecker. Red shouldered hawk, heard not seen. Red eyed vireo in Billy's Island area. Lining the waterway is Spatterdock, a floating yellow "lily", Nuphar advena, with broad leaves emergent from water. Mixed with this but less frequent is White waterlily, Fragrant white waterlily, Nymphaea odorata, with more oval floating leaves that do not emerge from water. The common fern is chain fern, Woodwardia virginica. Of some interest is the climbing heath, which is a vine that runs under the bark on cypress and then emerges, to form a bush. Palmetto. Tupelo. Nyssa ogeche. Ogeche lime. (make a fruit that suggests a lime in color and shape). Various other plants noted. On the way back to Valdosta, stopped roadside outside of Fargo. Pitcher plants, Sarracenia minor. Also here sundew, Drosera intermedia. A nice large pink orchid, leafy stemmed.

Union College. Schenectady, NY. May 16, 93. Visiting professor. Hike at Plotterkill reserve with Paul Genest , philosophy department Union College. "Kill" through Dutch country here means "creek." Catskills means "cat creek," the reference being to pumas.

The New York Mountains are the ABC's, Adirondack's, Berkshires, and Catskills. The Adirondack Park is two and a half times the size of Yellowstone, contains statedesignated wilderness, and ninety percent of the wilderness in the Northeast. Wolf Hollow with Carl George, Union College. We first went out to his home, a geodesic dome on the top of a hill/mountain.

May 22, 93. Canoeing with Carl George on Canada Lake in Adirondacks. He has taught biology here 25 years. Drove n.w. up the Mohawk River, which is a canal with locks here. Through Amsterdam, thence to Johnstown, and then to Caroga Lake and to Canada Lake. Put canoes in here and canoed across the lake and down what was once Sprite Creek, now a flooded arm of the lake, about 4-5 miles, 10 miles roundtrip. Headwinds somewhat going down, and rain coming back for a while, then calm. Then a wind came up just as we tried to cross the open water of the lake. There were whitecaps on the lake and we had to head the canoe into the waves and paddle rather strongly to get across, also avoiding getting the canoe parallel to the waves, lest it get water in it, which could add up to being swamped. Afterward it became quite calm.

Adirondacks means "land of the bark eaters." Mohawk means "man eaters," since they were cannibals; there are lots of references to Mohawks eating people, and not apparently for ceremonial reasons. On the water. pondweed, an aggressive introduced one, that Carl George has had to organize parties each year to get it out of the pond. Drove through a shrine to a Jesuit missionary who has been canonized, Isaac Jogues. This is the Auriesville shrine. Beaver swimming in water in lake. Saw a couple of the spawning grounds, or nests, of the fellfish, Semotilus corporalis, on the way back. These are remarkable underwater piles of gravel carried there in the mouth of the fish to form lodging places for the eggs and young when they spawn. Panax trifolius, Dwarf ginseng, which Carl George had not seen before and the best plant of the day. Lots of plants recognized. Good birding.

May 29, Mohunk Preserve, with Carl George and Paul Genest. The nearby town is New Paltz. These are the Shawangunk Mountains. The Catskills are nearby. There is an enormous Mohunk Mountain House, a grand hotel for 500 people on the top of the mountains, with a glacial lake. Walked up to Sky Top, a tower on the rolling top, rather windy, nice view of Catskills and lower lying farmland, though on the whole rather forested. Six wild turkeys. The lake has no inlet or outlet, but was gouged out along a fault line by the glaciers; these are called sky lakes through here. There are six of them.

A fisher reintroduction has succeeded. Cypripedium acaule, Pink Ladyslipper Orchid. One plant with two fine blossoms. Saw a good many chestnuts, still sprouting from the roots of the trees. The Chestnut blight came through here in 1913-1915. Union College has a set of the original Audubon prints, a big folio edition in which there are 435 prints. The original subscription was only 150 or so.

1994. Bob Marshall Wilderness Trip. July 18-27, 1994. Left Ft. Collins and drove hard all day, up I-25, Casper, joining I-90, to Sheridan, then Billings, Bozeman, Butte, and Missoula. Stayed at Holiday Inn, where I had spoken for the Watchable Wildlife Conference a couple years back. Outfitter: Smoke Elser. Left on trail ride from an outfitters camp near Holland Lake. Steady climb and over Pendant Pass (where you actually enter the Bob Marshall Wilderness), then dropped down. Swan Range. Big Salmon Creek. Camped in vicinity of Barrier Falls in a slide area. Very large larch (tamarack) trees. Reached upper end of Big Salmon Lake, then rode by the lake, about 5 miles long, one mile wide. Rode on down to the South Fork (of the Flathead River), the main drainage of the Bob Marshalls, then down the South Fork, through majestic ponderosa pine savannah flats. Rode by Murphy Flat.


Camped at White River Flats. We rode up the White River, first due east, then turning to follow the main stem north. Climbed and rode over Larch Hill Pass, We are now on the Continental Divide. Continental Divide Trail. We leave the Flathead National Forest here. The east side is the Lewis and Clark National Forest. Sun River Game Preserve, no longer hunted. Marvelous ride under the Chinese Wall. Dramatic camp site, right under the wall, and open enough for grand visibility. We rode down Burnt Creek. The drainage here becomes the West Fork of the Sun. Passed Indian Point Ranger Station. Camped at Reef Creek. We rode out to Benchmark. Total ride, about 100 miles. Van ride back to Missoula. Drive home. In the early dawn, I had to swerve to avoid hitting two large bull elk on the Interstate. Drove through Idaho. Butte, Idaho Falls, Pocatello. To Fort Collins.

1994. August 5. Field Trip, American Fern Society. Preceding the American Institute of Biological Sciences, Knoxville, TN. Led by Dr. A. Murray Evans, emeritus from the University of Tennessee, whose specialty is ferns. Drove to Carver's Gap. Isoetes carolinianum. Quillwort. Shortly up the trail towards Round Bald, then off 75 yards toward the N.C. side, in a seep. You wouldn't know it wasn't a grass or sedge, if you weren't looking for it. The balds are said by some to go all the way back to the Pleistocene and to have been maintained by various grazing animals, many of them now extinct here, such as bison, caribou. Caribou were here when Columbus arrived. Fire is not much of a factor in these mountains above 5,000 feet; it is usually too wet to burn. The forests and balds seem to burn not more than once every hundred years or more. Lightning does strike the balds all the time, and often makes a crater.

Various ferns seen. Walked to Engine gap, and then went down into the woods, a quarter of a mile below the gap.

August 6. Moss trip to Tellico River area, Cherokee National Forest. Trip leader Kenneth D. McFarland, instructor at University of Tennessee botany dept. Also on the trip Lewis Anderson, formerly of Duke and co-author of Mosses of Eastern North America, William Buck, Malcolm Sargeant, Jeff Duckett, U.K. in London, does work on ultrastructure of mosses, Harvey Miller of Florida and University of Miami, Ohio. Ray Stotler and Barbara Crandall-Stotler. David Smith, who is the current bryologist at UT.

We went to the general area of Bald River Falls. Site 1 on Laurel Creek, not all that far from Bald River Falls, marked on Cherokee National Forest map. Site 2, to Grassy Gap on route 165 and on beyond to Falls Branch Trail, and about a half mile in to a good falls, marked on map. Site 3, on over in North Carolina, Nantahala National Forest, along Santeetlah Creek. Various mosses seen. The sought-after item of the day was Megaceros aenigmaticus, a hornwort, found at the first site. It looks to me just like a thalloid liverwort.

August 7, field trip to Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, just below Kentucky, nearest post office Oneida, area was Scott State Forest. The river is the

(Big) South Fork of the Cumberland River, but we were on a tributary North White Oak Creek, and, for the morning foray, on a small tributary of that, nameless. Flakia? The thing. A thalloid stuff that nobody will claim, though many hold that it is some sort of lichen. Seen in several places. Copperhead snake. Lots of climbing fern, Lygodium palmatum, seen on the way in, with the fern people excited about it. Apparently they seldom see this elsewhere. Returned via the University of Tennessee arboretum at Oak Ridge for a 90th birthday celebration for A. J. Sharp, since about 1930 a famous bryologist the UT. Sharp has just published, with others, his long-awaited Moss Flora of Mexico . August 8, breakfast with Richard Andrus, Sphagnum expert, SUNY Binghampton.

Took trip through Slovenian (or Slovene) countryside, first north to the southern Alps, then south through karst topography and to the Adriatic Sea. Drove to Bled, via Kranj, with a marvelous church on an island in a scenic lake, also a castle overlooking the lake. Very scenic countryside. Rivers here are tributaries of the Danube. Drove south to karst topography at Skocjan, n.w. of Postojna. The region is called Karst, and karst topography takes its name from this region. There is one of the heaviest rainfalls in Europe and the limestone (and dolomite) rocks are honeycombed with tunnels and openings dissolved out by ground waters; much of the drainage is underground. Large sinks abound, some of them five or six hundred feet deep. Valleys containing streams often end abruptly where the streams plunge into underground tunnels. The collapsing rock leaves some very steep cliff walls. Harald Plachter, from Germany, a botanist, was good with the flora. The landscape architects with us knew the topography well.

Continuing, on to the Adriatic coast, of which Slovenia has only about 40 km. Croatia got most of the coastline. Visited Piran and Portoroz. Returned to Ljubljana. On the flight out, the southern Alps seen nicely from the air. Flew to Frankfurt, then to Helsinki. External International Examiner, the "Opponent," at Ph.D. Thesis Defense, held at

University of Helsinki, Finland. Thesis: The Varieties of Intrinsic Value in Nature, Leena Vilkka. Flew to Washington DC. Visiting Distinguished Lecturer, "Ethics Gone Wild," American University, Washington, DC, McDowell Conference on Philosophy and Social Philosophy, Jeffrey Reiman, Coordinator. Return to Denver.

1996. April 12-May 6, 1996. Sweden, Finland, Oxford, Denmark, Estonia, Romania trip. Bits of encounter with nature here and there; a walk in the woods at Odense with Finn Arler, also a walk in the woods at Aarhus, ending in walk by the sea. Wood anemone, Anemone nemorosa is in evidence everywhere; in deciduous woods it could blanket the forest floor, quite spectacular. Lots of beech forests in Denmark. In Romania, a weekend in the Carpathian mountains, lovely scenery, but rather degraded and overused woods. Hosted by Pompiliu Diplan, a graduate student in philosophy at the University of Bucharest, and his wife, and infant child. Nice spring green against the conifers. Some nice flowering trees, looked like pears, maybe some apple. One hedgehog killed roadside. A couple hawks. Tried to see the Danube and get to the Black Sea, to no avail. They kept saying it's not worth going.

June 8-18, 1996. Lusto Finland and Estonia. Aesthetics of Forests conference at Lusto, with a Finnish Forest Museum, near Punkaharju, on an esker with lakes all around. Some hike in the woods in the course of the conference, but there was not as much nature interpretation as on the 1994 trip. Lovely woods.

June 15-17, 1996. Weekend in Estonia. Stayed in Tallin but on Sunday we were taken out in the country and I got a couple strolls in the woods. Many familiar genera, though I often didn't know the species and some things I didn't know at all. Generally flat country with fewer lakes than Finland, and still lots of forests across the countryside.

Minnesota Wolves. March 28-April 3, 1996. Ely, Minnesota, and the wolves, via Milwaukee and Marquette University.

Flew to Milwaukee, spoke at Marquette University. Flew to Duluth and rented car, drove to Ely. Duluth has broken snow cover, but by the time I got to Ely there was solid snow pack, often 3 feet or so. Visited International Wolf Center in the morning, wolf flight in the afternoon. Host: Paul Hansen, works partly with the Mech wolf project, partly teaches at Vermillion Community College. Susan Meisner, Vermillion Community College; she is in charge of environmental studies. Spent the morning at the wolf center; there are four wolves in a pen outside a large picture window. Interpreter's talk. There are twelve wolf packs on which they have collars, about one animal per pack. There are about 2,000 wolves in Minnesota.

Clear but windy, and we took the wolf flight in the afternoon, but it was too windy to find the wolves. They bolt two antennae on the struts of the wings, one on either side of the plane, and by switching from left to right antennas, which are pointed a little differently, they can get something of a directional fix. Then they circle around in tighter and tighter circle until they see the wolves--about half of the time they find them. But the winds today prevented circling much.

Drove down to Lake Isabella area and showshoed around a campground area and further in, looking for a reported wolf kill. Eventually found it, a deer carcass. By now, since a snow two days before, the wolf tracks are obliterated. Lecture at the college. David Tomeo is host, former Outward Bound instructor, now teaching at the college.

Up early for another wolf flight, and this time we found them. I saw two grey, or brownish, wolves toward the edge of an open clearing, making a single track in the snow. I got them in binoculars for about ten seconds, nice view, and they went into the woods at the edge. Clear day, good sun, and great sight. We circled around several times to try to pick them up in the woods, but could not find them. The wolves were from the Birch pack, and were seen n.w. of Crocket Lake. Signals were from female adult 257, male pup 567, male pup 573, and we saw the female and one pup, they were not sure which.

Returned for radio talk, interviewed by Mike Hillman, Station WELY. Lecture in Leo (Luke) Lucas, Wilderness Management class, 1,00-3.00 p.m. Return to Duluth and flew home.

1996. Feb. 14-20, 1996. Grand Canyon, hike to Phantom Ranch, and Petrified Forest

Flew to Phoenix. Rented car. Drove to Flagstaff, nice drive up, but arrived in dark. Marcus Ford, my host, took me out to Walnut Canyon, a national monument, with Indian dwellings in the canyon rocks. Spoke at Northern Arizona University. Drove to Petrified Forest, stopping enroute to see the Meteor Crater. World's first proven and world's largest evident meteor crater. On to Petrified Forest and nice day there, with a few walks. Drove out through the Painted Desert, which is now incorporated into the Petrified Forest National Park.

Drove to Grand Canyon, driving around through the East Rim Drive. Stopped at Lipan Point, with a nice view of Hance Rapids at a distance in the river. I found I had a chance for Phantom Ranch, if there were no-shows. Next day, waited from 6.00 a.m. onward in the dark, and got the first of only two no shows. Caught shuttle around to Yaki Point, to go down the South Kaibab Trail. On the trail about 8.00. Steady descent. Nice day, not hot, but comfortable, in short sleeves. Nice lighting. Reached Panorama Point. Descended to River, crossed over the Black Bridge, reached Phantom Ranch. Total descent: 7260 ft.

Next day, walked out, Bright Angel Trail. Breakfast was at 5.30, and left at 6.15, not moving very fast because it was still too dark to see much but the outline of the white sandy trail. A little more light by the time I went over the Silver Bridge, and soon enough plenty of light to see. Trail goes along the river about a mile or so, then you climb. Relentless climb. But it is a quite good graded trail, never really the virtual stairsteps that the Kaibab trail has coming down. Passed Indian Springs. Two tunnels, or, better, rock cuts, are near the top. Somewhat cloudy, though the trail is in the shadow of the canyon walls surprisingly so that it was really 11.30 before I had my head in any sunshine. There is good water at Indian Springs, and, in summer, water supplies are put in a couple other spots. Got out about 12.10, slightly less than 6 hours out. Mileage out 9.3. Total 18.3 miles. Next day, drove back to Phoenix and flew home.

China, October 20 - November 7, 1998 Harbin. Visits to surrounding Nature Reserves and various universities and schools.

Flight from Denver. Flight from Chicago on Korean Air. Reached Seoul, Korea. Flight to Beijing. Flight Air China flight to Harbin. Met by Ye Ping, Liu Er, and Yu Mouchang. Liu Er proved an excellent interpreter. He was in U.S. 23 years. The conference is at the Harbin Institute of Technology. This is a different institution from Northeast Forestry University. Gave paper. Lunched with students.

Then we were picked up on a bus for what proved to be an all night bus ride. The bus driver got lost and nobody knew which roads to take. They variously stopped and asked and turned around, with general confusion. The bus stopped two or three times in the night for toilets just along the roadside. Reached Dailing about daybreak. They didn't know where the nature reserve was. Located a person from the Liangshui (Cold Water) Nature Reserve, who came and got us. There is also here an experimental forest of the Northeast Forestry University. Sustainable forestry was an ideal, but never practiced. Forest walk in the afternoon. Cold.

Met Yang Tongjin, who is translating my Environmental Ethics. Met Fan Chun Ping. She is editor of the Jilin People's Publishing House. They are publishing my Philosophy Gone Wild. The chief editor is Wu Guosheng, a researcher at the Institute of Philosophy, Academy of Social Sciences, Beijing. The print run is 5,000 copies. Bus drove back Harbin, mixed roads, often rough. Visited the office of the Harbin Center for Environment and Society. Visit to Northeast Forestry University. Visited the ecology laboratory, Open Research Laboratory of Forest Plant Ecology. Herbarium with 200,000 specimens. Visited the College of Wildlife Resources, in a splendid blue building.

Trip north to Nehe, and on to the Wudalianchi Nature Reserve. On the train, rode through broad, flat plains. This is the Dongbei Pingyuan. Northeastern Plain, sometimes the Manchurian Plain. This is the largest plain in China. The train went by vast marshes and water covered landscapes. This is on the Nenjiang River. Reached Qigihar and transferred trains. More flat plains, mixed with marshlands. Reached Fuyu. The railroad right of way is heavily grazed by cattle. Arrived Nehe. Picked up by Yang Changguo, vice-mayor and vice-party secretary, in a fancy Audi automobile. Interview in hotel room. Departure by car (a big Volkswagen). We drove in the dark an hour and a half. Dirt road but not too bad. Reached Wudalianchi, the name of a sizeable town (and also the name of the Nature Reserve, to come). The road is under construction, so we took a detour, and got lost. Returned to Wudalianchi and they bargained with a man in a four-wheel drive to take us.

There was a very muddy mess alongside the road under construction, and essentially only one barely passable road, and various tractors, tricycles (autorickshaws), and 4WD's trying to get through. Eventually we got to a bridge over the Nemor River, and afterward it was better, though still 4WD the rest of the way. Reached Wudalianchi, the nature reserve.

Wudalianchi. Five Joined Lakes Nature Reserve. Fourteen volcanoes here. Drove to a lake, the gate was broken and we had to walk in. This is one of the five lakes. Then back to the 4WD and off to the volcano. The Park was closed but they persuaded a gate woman to let us in. We drove in toward the volcano mountain, Daheishan (Great Black Mountain), or Heilongshan (Black Dragon Mountain) (two names for the same mountain). Then we parked and walked up one volcano. Rather nice stairstep pathway. Reached the crater. This erupted 1719-1721. Four of the five lakes can be seen from the top. The driver got from the gate woman a striking piece of congealed lava. Drove back to the main town, also named Wudalianchi. Now so many vehicles were stuck in the construction on the town side of the bridge that we had to walk back into town. Picked up the driver in the Volkswagen, and returned to Nehe.

Overnight train back to Harbin. Six berths in a compartment, no doors, just strung along a narrow hallway to one side of the car. Caught the train south. Arrived in Jilin, spent night. Reached Meihekou. Left for Tonghua, sleeper train. Arrived in dark at town of

Lushuihe (county of Fusong), and took taxi to Lushihe Forestry Bureau. Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve. A Man and the Biosphere Reserve. Fairly intact comprehensive ecosystem. Only alpine tundra in east China. Drive through the forest, lots of planted ginseng. Reached a substation, and met a party headed by the secretary of the communist party for this work unit. There was an endless dinner. Went to visit a primeval grove. The king of the Korean pine, a specimen said to be 500 years old. Pinus koraiensis.

Returned to town. We found the hermit, Ju Xi, by inquiring at the post office. He met us and led us to his home, down a narrow path with board fence. Surprising inside. He has a personal library of 10,000 volumes, all in glass cabinets. He showed me articles he has written. He is philosophical Taoist, though not a religious Taoist. There was a complete set of the works of Marx and Engels. An encyclopedia set of the ancient Taoist works. Then we went into a computer room, then into two rooms filled with old amateur radio gear.

Caught train at 9.24 for Beijing. This was the best of the sleepers. Still 6 berths, open, no doors train. The train was crowded and dirty, so we moved to a higher class car. Reached Tonghua. Left for Shenyang on crowded, dirty train, the worst of the trip. Taxi to Northeast University after midnight. Met with university officials all through the morning. Interview with a woman newspaper reporter. Nice lunch with the President of the University and others. Gave a lecture in a big science hall, on maxims in environmental ethics. Crazy, there were 500 students jamming the large lecture hall, standing in the aisles on both sides. They applauded when I walked into the room. Many seemed to understand a good deal of English, or at least they did when Liu Er also translated. There were questions at the end, some in English. A rather electric meeting. About 30 wanted signatures afterward, and various photographs taken, including two with 20 or so students. Talked with a woman, Hu Sulian, Political and Economic Department of Shenyang Teacher's College. That evening, at the "English speaking corner," I spoke English with students who came there to practice English. Several here spoke rather good English.

Qianshan Nature Reserve. Surprise, a good 4-lane motorway to Anshan. Driving 90 mph in China!!!. Went to Environmental Protection Bureau and got a guide. This is really a religious sanctuary, with Taoist and Buddhist shrines and temples scattered up a steep and forested mountainside. But considerable forested lands surround this, and they claim it as a nature reserve. Hiked. Passed some ginkgo trees that must have been wild ones. Climbed a steep wall and squeezed through a difficult crevice in the boulders. Up a giant boulder with one step and a chain to pull on. "One step to the sky." Then we took a very rough short cut part way back and regained the earlier path. Hiking about three hours.

Lunch in Anshan with the Environmental Protection Bureau there. Conference with about 30 persons, and 10 or so student observers. Rolston spoke on the three needed environments, wild, rural, urban, and with the claim that China's rarest environment was wild. Far few social problems would be solved by sacrificing the remaining wildlands.

Overnight train for Beijing. This was the best of the sleepers. Still 6 berths, open, no doors. Then a long taxi ride, through Tinamen Square, to Evergreen Hotel at Youth College for Political Science. Enthusiastic welcome there. Interview with reporter for Station BTV, Beijing. This is the main TV station in Beijing. The name of the woman who interviewed me is Huo Xiu. This was filmed outside. They have a program "Going with Nature." Bought lace tablecloth for Jane. Lecture at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Tour of the Great Wall of China. Walked up it, steady climb for two hours, and rode cable car down. The Wall forms a kind of nature reserve corridor. Visit to Yangi Lake (= Wild Goose Lake).

Taxi to Beijing Airport. Flight to Seoul. San Francisco, Denver.

2000. Yellowstone, Absaroka/Beartooths, and Bob Marshalls (from 7 Lazy P) 2000.


July 17 - August 8, 2000. In paper archives, maps and routes for whole trip. Drove to Yellowstone, and Lamar Ranch. Rolston taught “Environmental Ethics in Yellowstone” class. Various wolves seen. Wolf pups and densite. Drive over Top of the World. Hiked Beartooth High Lakes Trail to Beauty Lake, 6 miles. Had to ford the outlet of Island Lake into Little Bear Creek. Drove to Beartooth Lake Campground. Next day, hiked to Beauty Lake, again, but from this direction. Forded creek. Then steady climb, reached Crane Lake, then Beauty Lake. Drove to Fantan and Sawtooth Lakes. Clay Butte Lookout Tower. Drove over Beartooth Pass, 10, 947 ft. Pitched camp at Greenough Lake Campground. Drove to Lake Fork Trailhead and set off backpacking. Reached the bridge over Lake Fork, and pitched camp. Hiked to September Morn Lake, from the east shore you can see the Beartooth nicely. Rock scrambles. Hike out and return to Red Lodge.


Drive north. Livingston. Bozeman, King's Hill Campground, at King's Hill Pass. Great Falls, Montana. Drove on to Choteau; passed Freezeout Lake. Reached 7 Lazy P

Ranch. Main trail guide: Dave Hovde. Only five riders on trip. Left from Middle Fork Teton Trailhead. Rode up Middle Fork of Teton River, and over Route Creek Pass, a good pass, above timberline, and then down the west side, which is Route Creek. Heavy smoke over a ridge. Forest fire prevented us from reaching our intended camp in the area of Wrong Creek. So we turned around at Ten Mile Park, and backtracked to Nine Mile Park. Camped.

Smoke is rolling up the valley and in the camp area is a strong smell of smoke. We will have to ride out Nesbit Creek and over to the West Fork of the Teton trailhead, which is a roadhead, and find out what is going on. This took us over a wooded pass (leaving the Bob), dropping into Olney Creek, then joining the West Fork of the Teton, then to the West Fork trailhead, where they had a corral. forest fire is blazing up, smoke high in the sky. The Forest Service has closed all the trails south of Sun River Pass. Looks bad for the rest of the trip.

Rode over Teton Pass. A big burn, the Bowl Mountain Burn, 1998, starts at the pass and continues three miles or so. Rode to Bowl Creek and picked up Basin Creek.

Camped. Hiked up the mountain over camp, and got a striking view of the fire area. Typically 6-8 good smoke plumes rising high, sometimes white and sometimes black. Six or eight times (with binoculars) we could see good flames, orange and the bottom of the smoke, flaring up. But in 3-4 seconds, the flames would disappear, as though the tree had been suddenly engulfed, almost exploded in fire. The highest flames were perhaps 4-5 times as high as the trees, spectacular. Rode down Basin Creek into Bowl Creek. Lightning and thunder badly frightened the horses. Several of us had a time reining them in. Grizzly Park. Gooseberry Park Cabin. Rode up Clack Creek, Trilobite Mountain. The ride is on and off the Continental Divide Trail. Spectacular ride up Gateway Gorge. Sabido Cabin. Camped in Big River Meadows.

Rode on long day ride, back down to Sabido Cabin, then up trail (# 371) that goes over to East Fork of Strawberry Creek, leaving that trail at a saddle, and riding out on a pickup trail on a ridge that ends as the n.w. side of Gateway Gorge. Quite a good ride. Great view from the top. You could see mountains in Glacier National Park on the distant skyline to the north. Quartz crystals. Rode over Gateway Pass (6,475 ft.), wooded, the Continental Divide. Rode down S. Fork Birch Creek. Spectacular ride, especially after crossing Gateway Pass, open slopes, once forested, now subalpine country. S. Fork Birch Creek. Climbed back up Crazy Creek to a spectacular pass. Trouble with horses spooked by bees.

Rode over the pass at the head of Crazy Creek. Then we rode around a cirque drained by Nanny Creek (maybe a mile ride), then over another ridge, the highest point on the trip (maybe 7,200 ft.), and dropped into Bruce Creek. Mt. Patrick Gass is prominent here. He kept a journal with the Lewis and Clark expedition, which has been published. Camped at the head of Bruce Creek. Ride out. Ride total for trip 80 1/2 miles. Off from 7 Lazy P but, alas, car trouble in Great Falls. Replaced alternator.

Montana fires made PBS International News for its forest fires. Feature story on a broadcast originating in London. 100 homes destroyed. 1,000 homes evacuated. Feature story on CNN News. The governor has "locked down" the forests to reduce fire hazard. President Clinton flew to Idaho to encourage fire fighters. 20,000 civilian and military fire fighters have contained 60 fires. More acres have burned than in Yellowstone in 1988. Hard drive home.

Yellowstone National Park. Old Faithful in Winter and Wolves. March 8 – 22, 2000

Mar. 8, 2000. Left Ft. Collins, with Bill Forbes, cousin. High winds and blowing snow had closed Route 287 to Laramie, so we took I-25 to Cheyenne. Partly cloudy and quite windy. Reached Cheyenne and took I-80 toward Laramie. Over the high areas there was lots of blowing snow and slick roads. Then traffic slowed to a crawl for an hour. At the main trouble spot, there were seven trucks variously across the eastbound lane, a couple of them totally blocking the lane. We continued at a crawl, but we did stay moving. Reached Laramie and road conditions got much better. Still, several trucks had slid off the road. One U-Haul truck had gone off the road and the sides had split open and the poor moving family's stuff was all out on the median strip.

268 antelope counted during the day, typically in groups of 20-25. Several picket pins out (Uinta ground squirrels). One pheasant. One sandhill crane in a field. Reached Dubois about 4.30. Drove up Whiskey Basin and wildlife habitat there. The slopes of Whiskey Mountain are swept free of snow by strong winds and this attracts the bighorns. The largest wintering herd in North America is here, about 900 sheep. Nice adult bald eagle perched. 24 elk on hill top in distance. One bighorn sheep, magnificently silhouetted on a skyline ridge going up. Also an ewe some distance off. Two moose in willows, close in by road. Seven bighorns high up, about dark on the way out. Next day, back up Whiskey Canyon. 2 bighorns on a ridge top in lovely profile. 6 bighorns on the road. One young bighorn, see quite nearby on a rock. Total of 9 bighorns. The pines in here are limber pines, oval cones intact. Returned to Dubois. Adult bald eagle perched in a cottonwood tree, in town.

Left Dubois. Picnic lunch at Togwotee Pass, in plenty of snow. We checked in at Hatchett Motel, near Moran Junction. Drove into Grand Teton National Park. The Tetons were not visible in the cloud and fog. In fact we never saw them in a week there. Drove south to the Elk Refuge just north of Jackson. 1,000-2,000 elk in the Elk Refuge. Perhaps 150 bull elk gathered in a group, all with quite good antlers. 19 elk seen through the trees, returning to motel. The road was snow covered from flurries the night before. Reached Coulter Bay and Bill and I snowshoed about an hour, walking across the frozen arm of Jackson Lake here, then back around on a trail that runs near the lake. Snowshoe hare tracks, nice set. Nice snow, 3-4 feet and we were the only (human) tracks over the most of it. Reached Flagg Ranch about 11.00.

The snow coaches left at 12.15. The vehicle is a Bombardier, nine passengers. Yellow coach with a Chrysler engine. Made in Canada. Noisy, they use earplugs, but a memorable experience. We ran on 3-4 feet of snow, which, they say, is about twothirds of normal this year. We stopped and walked in about a hundred yards, on deep but hardpacked snow, to Moose Falls. The falls were still flowing nicely, not as iced up as one might think. Bald eagle high in the sky. Continued to Lewis Falls, where we walked over the road bridge. Reached West Thumb, with about fifty snowmobiles parked there. There were frequent snowmobiles the whole route. Walking tour of West Thumb Geyser Basin. Good guide, who had lots of facts and figures.

Continued in snowcoach to Old Faithful. En route a view in the distance of Shoshone Lake, the largest in the U.S. without a road to it. Half dozen elk nearing Old Faithful

Lodge. Reached Old Faithful and Snow Lodge. Checked in hastily to get out to see Old Faithful erupt in a nice display. Then we walked to Giantess Geyser, said to be erupting off and on. But Plume Geyser put on a better display for us. Walked around some on Geyser Hill. Back to Lodge.

Next day, snowshoed to Mystic Falls. Walked the trail (blacktopped in summer) to Morning Glory Pool. 23 bison in a field in the snow. Carried our snowshoes as far as Morning Glory Pool, walking on packed snow. Then we put on snowshoes and walked uphill, with some searching for the trail, and on to Artemisia Geyser. Passed about 20 elk right at the edge of the trail. Near Artemisia Geyser, adult bald eagle in tree. We continued to snowshoe on the trail toward Mystic Falls, but it got rougher and eventually too filled with snow on steep-sloping hillsides of the canyon. We stopped possibly 200300 yards short of the falls. It snowed all the hike, fine snow, though it filled our tracks more than we thought. We walked the road back, which turned out, toward the end, to bald eagles, one adult and one immature. 2 coyotes also at the carcass.


We took a road that was unused by snowmobiles and kept falling in through the snow. I had to put my snowshoes on. Back about 3.30, with all the hike we wanted. Six miles roundtrip. We walked out to see Old Faithful erupt, and with some sun and blue sky now. There were only six persons watching it! Walked back out to see another eruption of Old Faithful, shortly after sunset, and from the far side. Rather wintry. Then we walked the loop and back to the Lodge.

Next day, snowcoach to West Thumb and then to Flagg Ranch. Stopped at Kepler's Fails . Nice day, some snow flurries. Returned to car and drove s. toward Jackson on a fully snowpacked road. Quite wintry. Bright spots but we were unable to see the Tetons, though some lower peaks showed through at times--quite mystical looking. Various moose and bison. Drove through the National Wildlife Refuge again, and the same 1,000-2,000 elk, more or less in the same places. More bulls this time than before. Reached Jackson. Drove over Teton Pass, lovely drive, cloudy bright, some blue sky. Continued up the Idaho side, to Ashton, and on north. Spent the night at Last Chance, a bit before Island Park. The country side is generally covered with 3-4 feet of snow. Potato farms, wheat farms. Targhee National Forest. We awoke to two moose feeding in the river, right out the motel window.

Drove to West Yellowstone. Drove north from West Yellowstone on Route 191, through Targhee National Forest, and then into the Gallatin National Forest. Passed an arm of Hebgen Lake. Continued north and reached Bozeman Hot Springs, and then east into Bozeman. Reached Bozeman. Continued east to Livingston on I-90. Reached Livingston and then drove south to Yellowstone. There was little snow in Paradise Valley, though there was snow in the hills. Checked in a motel in Gardiner, and rode up into the Park. Lots of antelope, deer, elk, bighorn sheep in great profile on a mountain top. Total of 447 elk for the day. Next day, drove to Visitor Center, then drove to Tower Junction. Then we showshoed to Tower Falls, up what is a blacktop road in the summer, 5 miles roundtrip. Reached Tower Falls, the falls with a big ice canopy, and the falls which could be seen through holes in this ice canopy. A good snow flurry on the way back.

Checked in at Lamar Ranch and moved into cabin. Jim Halfpenny, Instructor. Next day, off at daybreak. Drove up toward Soda Butte, about two miles east, and right off saw a great chase and near kill, the best sighting of the week. Close enough to the road (150 yards) to see it nicely in binoculars, though it all happened too quickly to get a scope on it. Three wolves chased a bull elk. One bit into its rear, but the elk was kicking hard and shook it off. The elk was first in the snow, but made it into a more snow free area, near some aspen trees, and there it could shake the wolves off. They hung around nearby for a while, and the moved further away. A fourth wolf joined them. (Jim HalfPenny videotaped it, and I have it on videotape. though he didn't get the first part of the chase, which would have been better still.)

Second chase. Twenty minutes later, the injured elk moved uphill into the snow, attempting to rejoin a group of elk higher up, from which it had been separated. The wolves returned and there was another chase with one wolf biting into the elk's rear and, again, the elk shook it off. Some fur flies off, and this can be seen in the video. The wolves hung around a while, then left. Later, they seem to have made another kill a little higher up, and out of sight. 12-15 ravens gathered in aspen trees above the outof-sight kill.

Eventually we moved further down the road and were able to see one wolf at a distance higher above the kill site. Then two wolves, then three up on the hill, resting and playing--with some uncertainty whether they had fed or were waiting to feed. Drove up to Pebble Creek to see an elk carcass that had been killed by a grizzly bear, the first one seen out this season. Lots of tracks. Then returned to a set of grizzly tracks a half mile below the carcass, and made casts of these grizzly tracks. Lecture on tracking.

Back out look for wolves in late afternoon. None seen at the morning kill, though others had seen one or two a half hour before.

Next day. Temperature 0o F. Up the valley, but no wolves, and none on the radio. They were unable to locate the Druid Pack. Nice day, cold. Red fox, seen walking across, up from the river. He crossed the road and went on up the hill. This is the first fox I have seen in Yellowstone. We walked in to a bison carcass, and Jim cut a bone to check the bone marrow, indicating the state of health of the animal when it died. This bison died, rather than was killed, of unknown causes. We drove down to Slough Creek, on a little further to Junction Butte. Three wolves from the Rose Creek Pack were seen in the distance, on a carcass. The Alpha Male # 8, an original from Canada, and two uncollared pups, now nearly grown. We watched them 1 1/2 hours, coming and going, one at a time to feed. There were about 15 ravens on this carcass, also some magpies. Lower down, near the river, was another carcass, with three coyotes on it. That makes this a "three canid day" (wolf,coyote, fox). End of seminar. Bill and I went out in Jeep. A herd of 100 bison on a hillside below the morning look-out point for wolves, at Junction Butte. No wolf activity.

Gene Ball, Wildlife Observation Class. Four inches of snow during the night, and pretty dim, and low visibility as we set out. We drove up toward Soda Butte in low visibility and blowing snow. Elk, bison in winter snow, their fur much frosted over and wintry looking. No wolf activity. Drove back down to Slough Creek; weather cleared considerably. Drove past Tower Junction and on to Hell Roaring Fork and broad overlook. Several coyotes and dozens of elk at a distance. No wolves. Returned to Slough Creek and walked a quarter mile up a knoll. There we saw 7 wolves in the distance. Eventually I saw two more. Rose Creek Pack. These were about a mile out, but on the snow and nicely visible in the scope. I watched them 2-3 hours, and eventually got nine in my scope at one time. Nice howling of the pack for 30-40 seconds, heard well even at this distance. I could see one with its head up, howling. First time I have ever seen them howl. 2-3 coyotes also seen here, including one that walked by, and yipped, within 25 feet of us.

Drove down to Slough Creek. Others walked up to see the wolves from the knoll, but it was nearly dark, and I stayed in the van, having seen them already, all nine of them, for some hours earlier in the day. They saw four wolves. Next day, out at daybreak. No snow during the night. Up toward Soda Butte, and we spotted four wolves lying in the snow, fairly close in. We watched them from the van an hour. Great sighting, and I could pretty well use the scope inside the van, propping it against a window. Eventually they all howled and I had all four with heads up, howling at the same time. They were up and down, and walked around a bit, and then went back to lying down. Eventually, they walked up into the woods and out of sight. We drove to Soda Butte, and we were watching a bald eagle, when we heard the wolves howl again, this time from the south side of the road and river. We returned and saw three across the river, and watched them in scopes, 40 minutes. We never saw the fourth, but eventually there was howling answering back and forth from both sides of the road. Nice tracks at the pull out and tracks in the snow. Drove back down toward the ranch, and watched the bighorns.


We drove to Hell Roaring Fork and scanned elk and bison in the distance. Some had seen mountain lions from here in the day time a few weeks earlier. We snowshoed to Specimen Ridge (below Slough Creek). We passed an old bison skeleton in the snow, and also saw antlers, newly shed. Drove up toward Soda Butte. We watched one wolf across the river, about half an hour, some distance away, but plainly seen. Saw all eight wolves of the Druid Pack at or near the bison carcass (where Jim Halfpenny had cut the bone to inspect the marrow). There were two or three on it and six or eight up the hill a bit. The lower ones were quite close (as these sightings go). There were eight bull elk on the ridge above the eight wolves. Nice sight. We watched the wolves half an hour or more, and they eventually disappeared. It was now snowing harder. Later, we watched one disappear, fading into the falling snow. Nice sight. Dipper.

Returning, the wolves were asleep in the distance, all eight, but none moving. Just black blobs on the snow in the distance. John Varley was here, also Rick McIntyre. We had intended to drive in to Gardiner and hear David Mech, wolf expert, but Gene thought the road would be too slick coming back after dark. So we gave it up.

Next day, my shoe strings and boots were frozen to the floor. - 6o F. Drove down toward Tower Junction. Good sun dogs at Tower Junction. Then on the Hell Roaring Creek overlook. There were 8 wolves, the Rose Creek Pack, at much distance. 1 1/2 miles, where they had made a kill the previous day. We watched 3-4 of them harass several bison, for 40 minutes. They kept following them, but then the bison would turn and chase the wolves back a bit. David Mech and a group with him were present and watching, so I watched wolves with David Mech! Nice day. Returned. Packed up and left the Ranch. 16 bighorn ewes in the canyon between Mammoth and Gardiner. Drove east and south and home (2 days). 215 antelope during the second day, the biggest group with 45.

Red Rocks 'n Llamas, Escalante Canyon, Utah. Capitol Reef National Monument. Arches National Park. April 21-May 1, 2001

With Bill Forbes. Drove to Grand Junction, for the night. Drove to Green River, then left interstate 70 and south to Capitol Reef National Park. Rangers there said they had never seen it this abundant before, after good rains. Continued drive over Boulder Mountains. Reached Boulder, hardly a town, little more than a crossroads. Stayed at Boulder Mountain Lodge, a pricey resort drawing customers somehow from the uptown set passing through. Guides: Matt Graham, David Halladay, big on aboriginal skills. Jill Christensen. Born in Korea and left as an infant at a police station. Adopted by Mormons and raised in Utah.

Drove out to Harris Wash in van, with llamas in a truck, and started down Harris Wash. Hiked in and out of water all day. Put on my jogging shoes and just hiked in those, which stayed wet, and sandy. Typically 3-4 inches of water in the wash, nice sandy bottom, and we were walking in it half the time. Camped at a big alcove, with the kitchen in the alcove. Good folding chairs. Tent in an oak grove nearby. Hike to Silver Falls Creek. Hiked down Harris Wash. Quite scenic with walls on on of the wash. Reached the Escalante River about noon, and waded it. Walked up to the Silver Falls Wash. Walked up Silver Falls Wash.

David and Matt started a fire by hand drill from native materials and stone chipping tools. Used no knives or whatever, only local materials. Hike up top, to sand dunes. Reached an area with triangular petrographs. Corn cobs, bone fragments, all said to be from the Anasazi people, 800-1200 A.D. Tamarisk. Tamarix ramosissima. Salt cedar, a water hog. Trip to side box canyon. Hiked down the wash about one and a half miles. Investigated three alcoves, the biggest with various Anasazi fragments, corn cobs, pot shards, broken bones. Cryptobiotic soil crust. Patches of dark, knobby, brittle crust. Scruffy, apparently dead and dried out rind. Cyanobacteria, algae, moss, fungi, lichen. Because cyanobacteria are able to capture nitrogen from the air and convert it to a form that plants can use, it serves as fertilizer--in a system notoriously poor in nitrogen.

Began hike out. Reached the Portal (the narrowest area of the wash), and then did a loop to see a huge alcove, the best one yet, one what was once the course of the wash, like an oxbow, now cut off with the wash taking a shorter course. Return to Boulder.

Drive back. Reached Torrey, then Capitol Reef National Park. Camped. Hiked up Hickman Ridge Trail to Hickman Bridge, an impressive natural bridge. Hiked the Rim

View Trail. Capitol Dome is a rock dome on the Reef that looks like the dome of the Capitol in Washington. Hike to The Tanks. Hiked through spectacular gorge, with a "pioneer registry," names of pioneers (and some later red necks) carved in the desert varnish. Grand Wash. Hiked the Chimney Rock trail. Goosenecks and Sunset Point.


Drove to Arches National Park. Various arches, including Landscape Arch. Drove home.

2001. Guam and Inter-Pacific Science Congress May 30 - June 9, 2001. With Jane, my wife.

Left Ft. Collins 7.40 a.m., reached Denver, for major snafu at the airport. Eventually rebooked for the next day. Minneapolis, then 12 hour flight to Tokyo, then flight to Guam. June 2-5, Saturday thru Tuesday, at the Pacific Science Inter-Congress. Maybe 300 here. World War II Military tour field trip. Visited Asan Bay, and Japanese cave carved into the hillside. Visited military museum on the base, and Japanese two-man submarine. Hard rain. Visited Ga'an Point, with Japanese guns.

Guam is U.S. territory, acquired from Spanish in 1898, end of Spanish American War. Japanese took it in 1941, with little fight as it was not fortified. Americans recaptured it in 1944, with big fight, 55,000 troops, 2,124 dead, 5,250 injured. 17,000 Japanese killed, or killed themselves, 1,250 captured. U.S. Naval base, U.S. Air Force base dominate the island. Guam is really the highest mountain in the world, if you base elevation from the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

After World War II, the brown tree snake was accidentally introduced into Guam, probably on military vehicles. With no natural predators and abundant prey, the snake population steadily grew and spread throughout the island. As the snakes dispersed, forest bird and fruit bat populations plummeted. By the late 1980's, twelve species of birds and the little Mariana fruit bat had disappeared from Guam. Introduced feral pigs and deer, over-hunting, and habitat loss from human development are also major factors in the decline and loss of Guam's native plants and animals.

Soil erosion, pollution of various kinds, especially sewage from tourist developments, mostly raw sewage dumped at sea, and over-fishing seriously impact Guam's coral reefs. About 25% of the coral reefs are designated as reserves or preserves, sometimes more, sometimes less well protected.

Got rental and drove south. Visited War in the Pacific National Historical Park. Hard rain midday. Saw site where Magellan is supposed to have landed in 1521 (though many doubt it). Saw feral pigs, seen near Taloforo Falls, four of them. Brown with white spots. One a boar. One seen later in a pen was all black. Considered a game species, with a hunting season. Sus scrofa. Saw beachfront pill box. Guam has an introduced deer, the Philippine deer, Cervis mariannus. It was introduced by the Spanish, 200 years ago. There is a hunting season on them.

Headed north and did the Fish Eye, boardwalk out 100 yards over the water and then you walk downstairs under water. Lots of lovely fish.

Found the Atlantis submarine dock and I took the submarine ride. Jane stayed ashore. Rode out in a surface boat. The aircraft carrier, Kitty Hawk, pulled into port last night, and we rode right by it. Transferred to a submarine, the Atlantis, and went underwater. Sub holds about 40 people. Rode over a coral reef, lots of different kinds of corals. I had a good one-on-one guide, one of the crew. Spectacular formations, though the color is not all that great, mostly just shades of blue and black. Lots of fish, though not so many and not so highly colored as at the Fish Eye. All this was about 25-30 feet underwater. Then we descended to 120 feet, off the edge of the reef, and it got darker. We were said to be within 6-8 feet of the bottom but we couldn't see it. Little coral grows here, too dark.

Drove north, to Two Lover's Point, quite developed park. Then down to Tanguisson Beach Park. Returned to main road and drove north, through Anderson Air Force Base. Reached Ritidian Point, the northern tip of the island and Guam National Wildlife Refuge. 772 acres, not large, but the other side is a military base. Also two units are on military bases, not open to the public. Good beach with white sand. This is a turtle sanctuary. Greenback and hopefully Hawksbill turtles, which may be extinct. Also protects the endangered Mariana fruit bat.

Returned. Drove south, to the Chamorros village at Inarajan, and toured it. Making salt, boiling ocean water until they get salt crystals. Making coconut candy. Weaving coconut leaves into various items. Making a rope of tree fibers. Talofofo Beach Park. Visited Latte Park. Latte are carved stone pillars, look something like mushrooms. Eight pillars here, lined up in fours. These are thought to have been building foundations in pre-Spanish Chamorro culture, but when Magellan arrived, nobody knew what they were. Seem to date from 500 A.D. and onward. Drove up Nimitz Hill, to Asan overlook, which takes the position that the Japanese, entrenched in the hillside, had when Americans invaded Asan Bay. Japanese caves on this site. Returned to motel, for early flight the next day. Flew home.

2003. Bob Marshall Wilderness 200. July 26-August 10, 2003, 7 Lazy P. Left Ft. Collins, with Bill Forbes, a cousin. Cody, WY. Night at K Bar Z Ranch on Chief Joseph

Highway. Rock Creek Road trailhead. Hiked to Glacier Lake. Drove through Yellowstone. Drive north to Choteau WY and to 7 Lazy P. Trip leader: Dave Hovde.

Ride over Route Creek Pass, down Route Creek, past Ninemile Park, past Tenmile Park and then long ride into Wrong Creek, the last part of it through a 1988 burn, regenerating well. Camped at Wrong Creek. There is a fixed camp here, site is licensed to Chuck Blixrud, who uses it as a hunting camp. Rode to Round Park (here the Continental Divide Trail). Then rode over Sun River Pass, 6,251 ft., a low pass, entirely forested. Rode to Basin Creek (where we camped in 2000). Rode to Grizzly Park, then to Gooseberry Park, then up 17 switchbacks to Trilobite Lakes. Nice camp and scenic location. Hike up Trilobite Peak. Brachiopod fossils seen on top, like a Shell Oil symbol. 2-3 inches across. Dean Lake.

Rode over Switchback Pass. Continental Divide, we are now back on the east (Gulf) side. Nice views now of the North Chinese Wall. Walked horses down. Lake Lavale, and rough campsite. Lunched at an area beneath Hahn's Peak, with an area of striking recent blowdown, 25-30 trees. Rain in the afternoon, and rode most of the afternoon in slicker. After Switchback Lake, there is a 15 mile ride straight down the North Wall (which occupied us a day and a half, Switchback Pass to Sock Lake. Hard rain, fight to stay dry, then clearing. I got up at 3.30 and stars everywhere, not a cloud in the sky. Mars was quite striking on the horizon above the Wall. Mars is at its "all time finest." It is closer to the Earth than it has been in 60,000 years--if by only a little, closer to the Earth than ever since prehistoric times.

Hiked to a saddle, then to a summit, Lookout Mountain, for a magnificent view of the wall further south. Gathering storm, and then lightning and thunder too close by forced us to hurry down. Next day, rode down, first through great spruce woods. Magnificent forest. Passed a big avalanche chute and enormous downed trees. Then we rode through 1988 burn the rest of the trip to Headquarter's Pass. Lunched at Gates Lake in the only shade we had seen for miles. Ranger Cabin and talked to ranger. One other horse party of 6-8 riders, the only one seen on the trip. There are fires on the west side (Holland Lake area, more or less). That part of the Bob is closed. Ride out over Headquarter's Pass. Descending, we took a rest stop at a notable big spring, the start of the S. Fork of the Teton River. Five goats, only 100 feet off. Total ride 75 miles.

After reaching trailhead, we watched a great galloping of horses and mules, excited by the return and the promise of rest and green grass. Drive to Great Falls, Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center. Drove to Billings, Hardin, and Fort Collins (2 days).

Text is in 2002. This is a learned survey of historical ideas of creation and nature. McGrath is enthusiastic about the social creation of nature, yet he also seeks a “logocentric” account by which Christians have a privileged, or revealed account, appreciating what the sciences can genuinely discover, yet also needing a deeper account of how the wonderful cosmos comes into being.

2005. Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, July 1 – 12, 2005. Also over Lolo Pass and Selway River Corridor. With Christopher Preston. Drive north, Columbus, MT,

Bozeman, MT, Missoula, MT. Visit with Tom Birch. Outfitter is Jim Vitale, Birch Creek Outfitters. Our wranglers are Butch (George) Ewalt, 62 years old, lots of hunting experience in these woods. He has killed 34 elk. The other wrangler is Jeff Rosmon, brand new, just out of guide school, age 36, recently out of the Marines. Horses, mules, and gear up Lost Horse road to Twin Lakes. Rode trail down East Fork Moose Creek and camped, good forested area. Rode further down through the Selway fire to their hunting camp. Back to camp. Two horses got loose and had to be recovered at the trailhead in the dark. Horses are "herd sour." We have to take them all wherever we go. They evolved as prey animals and feel safer in a group of companions. Better conditioned stock don't do this but lots of ordinary stock does. Also horses can be "trail sour," which means they will not stop if the horse in front of them goes on--a common thing but well-trained horses ought to stop. Rode back to trailhead and restocked. I was keying all the plants I could.

Rode Wahoo Pass and down Wahoo Creek. Difficult ride, badly eroded trail. Rose to Indian Lake, camped several days. This is now NezPerce National Forest. Wellshown on that map. Day ride through Horsefly Meadows, then through a burn, to Freeman Peak. With view 25-30 miles in all directions and no sign of humans. Return to camp, rough ride. Ride out, and return to Missoula. Total ride about 80 miles.

Drive over Lolo Pass. DeVoto Memorial Cedar Grove, huge Western red cedars that really belong in the Pacific Northwest. Lowell. Drove up the Selway River corridor. Camped at a great red cedar tree, Selway Falls Campground. Pacific flowering dogwood, Cornus nuttallii, rare in this region. 13 mile drive up a 4WD road to Big Fog Saddle. Alpine hiking, Big Fog Mountain. Return drive to Missoula. Drive back to Fort Collins.

Yucatan, Mexico, and Complexity Conference. January 15-25, 2007.

Flights: Denver, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Cancun. guide, Arturo Romano. Good guide and good van. Drove down the coast to Tulum. Lots of plush resorts, invisible from the road, which is 2 km. inland. Much of what you see is a scrubby palm/palmetto forest, not very impressive. Tulum Ruins. In a spectacular location, perched on cliff above the Caribbean. Largest fortified site on the coast, walled around as a fort. Ruins from around A.D. 1200. Visited Well of the Sacrifice, a ceonote (sinkhole filled with water).

Visited Temple of the Wind God, Temple of the Descending God. The most impressive and main building is El Castilo. Visited Temple of the Initial Series. Gran Palacio.

Temple of the Frescoes, later built, around 1450. Tulum. Drove to Los Lirios Hotel. Hotel was on the sea.

Boat trip to Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. (Good day. Good guide, young woman, and knew the birds quite well. 1.6 million acres of biosphere reserve, a UN site, and over 50% is tropical rainforest. Most of this is otherwise unusable swamp. Reached an eco-tourist resort, Cesiak. Long coral reef offshore, with different water colors. This is the second longest coral reef in the world. Boat ride over Campenchen Lagoon, then up a canal (Cayo Venado, "cayo" is "key"), and into Chunyaxche Lagoon, into the upper part of it. Then return through the canal and to to Laguna Boca, with an entrance to the sea. Walked through a mud ecosystem, with white mangrove, black mangrove, lots of pneutamophores (wooden fingers sticking up above the water level, now entirely visible above a muddy floor. Reached Laguna Chunyaxche, and rode out into it. Returned to Laguna Campuchen.and went south into Laguna Boca Paila, windy ride.

Drove inland for several hours to Chichén Itzá (pronounced chi chen itz uh). North toward Tulum, and then to Coba, then to Chemax, then to Valladolid. Mostly little inhabited country.


Farmers here grown some corn, tomatoes, chilis. There were a few commercial places. Houses, like huts often, had thatched roofs. At first a good road, but then got marginal. Then north of Valladolid, reached a good toll road. Toll road was privately built for the Mexican goverment to move tourists around fast, but the tolls are high and many do not use it. Went into bankruptcy once and the Mexican government had to rescue it.


Then to Piste, then south a bit to Chichén Itzá. Evening light show. Colored lights on the main temple and a couple others. Chichén Itzá is one of finest Mayan ruin sites in Mesoamerica. Palaces, temples, altars, and largest known ball court in the Mayan world. Went to Sacred Ceynote, 22 meters down. Sacred well of sacrifice. Used for human sacrifice to rain god Chac.

Reached Cenotes de Dzitnup. Descend long stairway into the cave and there is the lake, some size, with opening to the sky and long tree roots descending to the water. Return to Cancun. Transfer to Iberostar Paraiso Maya Resort.

Conference on Complexity, molecular to cosmic, three days.

Flights home.

2007. Bahamas. June 18-24, 2007

Flights Denver, Fort Lauderdale. Reached Nassau and Atlantis Hotel.

Powerboat Adventure. Full boat, with local schoolteachers on board celebrating the end of school and too much noisy socializing. Good fast ride to Allen's Cay, a de facto nature reserve. Laughing gull. Fed iguanas (Cyclura spp), grapes on a stick, or, for the more cautious ones, tossed to them 3-4 feet away. The iguana is native on the islands, but these were transplanted here from another island for their safety. Maybe 65 brought here, now maybe 650 on the island. Formerly there were many iguanas, but people ate them. Also the feral pigs eat them.Back on board and ten minutes to Ship Channel Cay, where the company has an installation, dock, sheltered eating area, kitchen, with some staff that stays here. Members of the group, after demonstrations by staff, fed stingrays, big flat fish. They really do not have teeth but eat on their underside. So they put strips of fish on the back of their hand, held them kneeling in the water with their hands in the sand. They stingrays swam by and nibbled up the bits of fish.

They also fed nurse sharks, maybe four feet long, by tossing out fish left over from preparing the meal, grouper. The fish carcass was strung up with a rope through the gills and tossed out, pulled back in to lure the sharks in closer. Some of the sharks were said to be Carribean Reef sharks. About 12 sharks. Barracuda seen underwater further out, one or two of them, but they did not come in to eat. Lots of sargent majors, little fish with black stripes, like a military sargent. On top of the sharks were Remora, a sucker feeder, which attach to the back of the sharks and then glean from what the shark eats. They are not parasitic on the shark directly. These are called commensals.

I took a rocky walk by the sea, while other snorkeled. Got out of sight of the others and some feel for the landscape. Sometime good sand to walk on and sometimes so rocky it made walling difficult. There were cliffs enough to make it difficult to move inland much where I walked. Returned and found an inland trail, with the bushes overarching the pathway. Reached an old well, which the owner said is still functional, but there is a sulphur taste to the water. Tree marked cascarilla tree. Croton eluteria = Sweet Wood Bark. Bark used in making liquers. Euphorbiaceae. A feral boar appeared at the back and people were feeding him apples and plums. Four huge tusks (teeth, the canines) (Sus scrofa?), two from below, and two uppers curving spirally upward. This is the ancestor of domestic swine. Rained hard on the return to Nassau.

Templeton Foundation event. Flight to Grand Bahama Island. Flew over various islands/cays, typically linear. At times you could see the bottom, often again with linear formations. Reached Freeport Airport, and taxi to Lucaya, virtually the same town but the resort area. Named for the Lucayan Indians, the aboriginals here. Lots of damage from Hurricane Francis in 2004. A Category 3 hurricane on the island for 6 hours. Bahamas has 700 islands, 2,000 cays, 29 inhabited. Grand Bahama is 96 miles long, and 18 miles wide at the widest. Some 60,000 people. 25 national parks, but many of them are quite small.

Met guide for the day, Sam. Forest is tall skinny pines, Carribean pine = yellow pine (Pinus caribaea var. bahamensis), with thatch palm as six foot high understory.

Bahamas nowhere have much good soil. Some 1,370 species are known from the Bahamas today, with many extinct ones known from fossils, often found in the caves. Too much Casuarina, Australian pine. We kayaked on Gold Rock Creek, a red mangrove swamp (Rhizophora mangle). There are no rivers or freshwater creeks on the island. 1,350 plant species in Bahamas. Racoon. Poisonwood (Metopium toxiferum), with shiny leaflets, compound leaf, and easy to recognize. Sumac family. Even standing under it in the rain will give you blisters on exposed skin. Thatch palm (Thrinax microcarpa = morrisii ?). Leaves are a yard wide. Used for thatch, mats, baskets, rope, shoes, hats. Curly tailed lizards. Leiocephalus spp.


Reached Ben's Cave in Lucayan National Park, a small park, 40 acres, about 20 on each side of the road. Hole descends to water; we walked down a ladder fifty feet or so. Buffy fruit bats, couple dozen seen, flying and perched. Not much bigger than insect bats at home. Second longest known underground (and underwater) cave system, after Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. Charted six miles of caves. Some fish in the water in the cave. Saltwater fish, grey snapper = mangrove snapper. They came in from salt water, but once they acclimate to fresh water, they cannot go back to salt water. There is a blind crustacean here, like a swimming centipede, Speleonectes lucanensis. Burial Mound Cave. Four skeletons of indigenous people found here in 1986 in a sort of cemetery on the floor of the cave near the water. Skeletons from about 1400 A.D.

Next day, guide Chris Basile. Went by the Dolphin encounter. They have 17 Atlantic bottlenose dolphins in pens, but they are opened up into a larger area, and at times the dolphins can go out to sea, but they return to be fed. Really domestic dolphins, but they make some claim that these are wild dolphins. Owl's Hole, a blue hole, about the size of a small swimming pool across. Water is 40 feet or so down. Barn owls nest here in season. Walked up the beach and found Wilson's plover nest, with splendid broken wing display. Next day, went on birding hike with local bird group. Erika MoultrieGates, my host, runs this Kayak Nature Tours, has 25 vehicles, and 12-15 guides. Driving out to Barbary Beach: zenaida dove. Several glimpsed in flight and this excited them. My first Bahamanian specialty.

Flight out of Freeport to Nassau. Pretty much "seat of your pants" flying. Nassau to Fort Lauderdale. We flew low and you could see the water. Flew over South Bimini, and you could see the bottom 2-3 miles east of it. Hemingway fished, fought (boxing), and caroused in the Biminis. The Old Man and the Sea comes out of this ambience. Fort Lauderdale to Denver, troubled by big thunderstorms and lightning.

Review, Paul Davies, Cosmic Jackpot: Why Our Universe is Just Right for Life (London: Penguin, 2006 and Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 2007) in Zygon: Journal of Religion and Science 43(2008):753-756. Paul Davies is a physicist, a cosmologist with philosophical interest. He is unsurpassed in summarizing the results of recent discoveries in physical astronomy and microphysics about the ways in which the characteristics of the universe are fine-tuned for life. “The universe is bio-friendly.” He is much challenged by the differences between physics and biology, especially the emergence of mind. We are still left wondering why life elaborates and persists in the midst of its perpetual perishing. Online at: https://hdl.handle.net/10217/211418

2008. Morelia, Mexico. Jan 15-21, 2008. Flights Denver, Houston, Morelia. left Denver 11.38 a.m., on Continental thru Houston, arrived Morelia. Trip with guide Ricardo Aguilar, who turned out to be a graduate student at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), Morelia Campus, doing a master's thesis on the forms of government of some of the local indigenous peoples at the time of the Spanish conquest. Congenial and knew the landscape, but not the fauna or flora that well.

Drove some 75 miles on rather good roads, through Uruapan. Generally a dry landscape but forested. Doesn't rain here in the winter, but rainy season in summer. Eucalyptus is an invasive and problematic. Climbed some mountains with mostly pines, and other stuff I did not know. Pleasant day, we are at 6,000 feet. Landscape seems mostly unused, maybe abused, though there are numerous avocado orchards, which is profitable here. Cassava on roadsides. Various dry looking flowers in bloom, often yellow composites. Passed several lakes, apparently of volcanic origin. Frequent banana plants, though I did not see any in fruit. Some sugar cane.

Reached trailhead for the Paracutin volcano, driving through a poor looking village with men riding horses. Walked in to the San Juan village destroyed by the volcano, took about three and a half hours in and out (3 km. in, 3 out).. Somewhat rough trail in at times, often eroded by horses – with various people trying to get us to ride their horses in. Then you reach the lava fields and have to walk through that, not too bad. Then the last bit into the ruins of the village which was about as rough as I wanted. Reached a church of twin towers, one tower half down. Chapel 50 yards away also partly survived, but none of the houses. People all got out before the village was covered. Walked out, now mostly uphill, but did o.k.

Paríícutin (or Volcáán de Paríícutin, spelled unaccented as Paricutin) began as a fissure in a cornfield in 1943, witnessed by the farmer plowing his field. The eruption formed a cinder cone, erupting variously until 1952. Nearby villages including Paricutíín (after which the volcano was named) were buried in lava and ash. Lava scorched 25 square km of land. In 1952 the eruption ended and Paríícutin went quiet, attaining a final height of 424 metres. Rarely do volcanologists get to watch the birth, growth, and death of a volcano.

Went to Parque National Eduardo Ruiz, a sort of gardens and nature park. Went to Tzararacua waterfall.

Returned. Keynote speaker at the conference: "Promised Land and Planet with Promise."

Trip to see the Monarch butterflies. Passed through Angangueo, village. Slow bus ride up a steep cobblestone road. Then a rather strenuous walk, eventually reaching over 10,000 feet. Annoyed by vendors. Eventually reached the refuge, El Rosario Sanctuary, with lots of climbing. I did this part with Lisa Sideris. Continued climb on a step path, hundreds of steps. Now we reached an alpine forest and much wetter than below. As I got higher I began to see more butterflies, and eventually reached the main roosting site. There were thousands mostly hanging off the branches of oyamel firs (Abies religiosa) quite tall. Other firs nearby were similarly loaded. the total numbers must have been in the tens of thousands, probably reaching 100,000 in sight. Some would open up from their hanging spots and fly around a bit and then settle down again.

The 4,000-mile round trip holds a central mystery that a network of entomologists are trying to solve. The butterfly that goes from Canada to Mexico and partway back lives six to nine months, but when it mates and lays eggs, it may have gotten only as far as Texas, and breeding butterflies live only about six weeks. So a daughter born on a Texas prairie goes on to lay an egg in South Dakota that becomes a granddaughter. That leads to a great-granddaughter born in Canada. In autumn, how does she find her way back to the same grove in Mexico that sheltered her great-grandmother? Monarch larvae live and feed exclusively on members of the milkweed family.

Departure for airport. Houston. Denver.

2008. Bob Marshal Wilderness, South Wall July 18 – 28, 2008.

7 Lazy P. with Christopher Preston

Flew up to Great Falls from Denver, and Christopher Preston picked me up at airport


Reached 7 Lazy P in time for supper. Main guide: Dave Hovde. Good ride over Route Creek Pass, quite scenic. O.K. on ride down but it got too dusty. Rode through 1988 burn several miles. Good regeneration. 3 deer. Camped at Wrong Creek, their hunting camp, where I have been several times before. This is named Wrong Creek because they misjudged which one went to the divide. Ride over sometimes green grasslands, prairie, Biggs Flats, and rather scenic. Camped at Sulphur Creek by the river, N. Fork Sun River. Hiked up to Sulphur Lick with Dave Hovde and Christopher Preston. Just a dry mudhole but the animals have created it licking for salt. Rode into the Ahorn burn, burned last year, and sometimes spotty but later blitzed the forest.

Ride to Pretty Prairie. Detour on account of construction of the trail and forded the S. Fork of the Sun river twice. Mixed burn. Crossed a good pack bridge over the West

Fork Sun River. Now riding a part of the Continental Divide Trail. Camped at West Fork Sun, just west of Reef Creek. Hard rain. Ride up Prairie Reef. A somewhat steep ride and sometimes the horses were breathing heavy. Reached the Lookout Tower, walking the last half mile or so, tying the horses up to the last of the trees. Prairie Reef is a steep cliff on the east and rounded but steep on the west side. 360 degree panorama. Tower is occupied by a woman who is here all summer. Ruins of a plane crash below the tower.

Ride to the Chinese Wall. Excellent grizzly track on the trail. Goat seen silhouetted on top of the Wall. Nice campsite with a view of part of the Wall, but, alas, not enough grass for the horses for us to stay two days here. Disappointing that we have to ride out tomorrow via Moose Creek, losing the best ride of the trip, up the South Wall (my best ride years ago with Smoke Elser). Eight bighorn rams seen halfway up the Wall, two groups of four, all were rams about half curl. Ride out. Ride down Moose Creek, a long one, pretty much a slog. Saw a black bear. Camped again at Sulphur Creek. Ride out over Headquarters Pass. Good regeneration from 1988 fires lower down, but almost none higher up. Long ride through burn, then got to the spectacular area below the pass. Goat at lunch, 100 yards away, later at the head of a snowfield below a steep cliff. Dramatic sight. Total ride about 120 miles. Reached 7 Lazy P. Christopher drove back to Missoula. I got a ride to the Great Falls airport. Flew home. We might have made this trip in 2007, but got burned out. Fires closed the Bob.

2008. April 2-7, 2008. Zion National Park, following lecture at Utah Valley State College, Orem, Utah. Host: David Keller. Gave talk "Future of Environmental Ethics," then discussion group on my Genes, Genesis and God. Drove south, four and a half hours to Zion National Park, staying at Rockville at a home that belongs to David Keller's father. Home has a fine overlook of Eagle Crags, jagged peaks. Drove into Kolob Canyon part of Zion, high country and a separate area. Next day, went into Zion National Park and spent the day in the main canyon, Zion Canyon, on and off a shuttle. Hiked into the Narrows area, then up to Weeping Rock, then looked around the Great White Throne viewpoint, then walked up an overlook of the Court of the Patriarchs. Later in the day, drove through the Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel and up higher. Checkerboard mesa, nicely lighted checkerboard surface toward evening.

Environmental Aesthetic). Beijing: Chinese Social Science Publishing Co., 2009. ISBN 978-7-5004-8146-1. Rolston's positive analysis of rich meanings in the word "wild" relate to spontaneous creativity and freedom, an important support of, and foil to, artifacted creativity and freedom in culture. Humans emerge from this wildness, and in scientific technology, they increasingly set themselves against wildness, and this leaves them homeless. Rolston contests traditional axiologies of valueless nature. He claims we ought to discover and value wild nature. In aesthetics, this leads Rolston both to make claims about aesthetic value in nature and to distinguish such value from that of from art in culture. He also finds that such aesthetic value in nature is understood more deeply if it is science-based. A further dimension is that there is positive aesthetic experience in the struggle for existence in nature. This revises accounts of what we might first think to be ugly in nature. Appreciation of wildness is not the peaceful observation of the picturesque, but requires immersion and experience of life in the wild, immersion of body and of spirit. This does give us a sense of being at home in the wild nature out of which humans evolved. It also moves us from beauty to responsibility for the conservation of nature." Zhao also draws some comparisons and contrasts with Asian thought. The book results from a Ph.D. dissertation at the Department of Philosophy, Wuhan University. The advisor was Chen, Wangheng.

The language and conceptual apparatus employed is critical in its capacity to engage values of concern in policy. The concept of natural value developed by Holmes Rolston III at various levels—humans, animals, plants, species, ecosystems, Earth--is politically problematic, bringing both risks and opportunities.

Rolston emphasizes the distinctive character of natural beauty and gives reasons to understand such beauty as foundational for acting morally in the natural world. In this respect his account is superior to that of Callicott, whose account is more anthropogenic.

This distinct species has two more chromosomes than domestic horses. It became extinct in Mongolia in the 1960's and was restored by Dutch veterinarians in the 1990's, after Mongolia became independent, overthrowing the Communists. Rolston finds two groups, stallions with mares, one foal, a dozen takhi. Also, argali, the largest most robust bighorn sheep. Visit to Gobi desert. Online at: http://hdl.handle.net/10217/86382.

2015. “Messaging Morality: Ethics across the Cosmos.” Notes and correspondence.

Rolston lecture at a SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) workshop, February 14, 2015, Mountain View, California. When we consider active SETI, or METI, transmitting messages that might be received by extraterrestrial intelligence, what might we say about human morality? We can ask what ethics, if any, is an inclusive global ethics. Consider the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Messages will more likely be understood if kept short and basic. Seek peace! Be fair! Tell the truth! Keep promises! Some, such as the Golden Rule, might be pictured. Dimensions of human ethics are Earthbound: Be sustainable! Do not commit adultery! But, like basic laws of science, deeper principles will be shared with extraterrestrials. Human ethics has been socially constructed across cultural histories, originating with prophets, seers, saviors, but, again like science which has a history, our more fundamental moral insights, if not true in all possible worlds, are true elsewhere in our universe. Taking a longer view, considering transit millennia, we should transmit truths that are both profound and permanently true.

2015. “Rediscovering, Rethinking Green Fire.” Environmental Ethics 37(2015):45-55. Lecture given at Utah Valley University, April 4, 2013. Aldo Leopold shot a wolf a hundred years ago, the most iconic wolf kill in conservation history, a shooting now historically confirmed, which three decades he elevated into his green fire metaphor and symbol. There are tensions. Was Leopold a hypocrite? He spent the rest of his life hunting and trying to produce more game to kill. Thinking like a mountain, thinking big in the big outdoors, there is a dramatic shift of focus from a dying wolf's eyes to a land ethic. Thinking big enough, globally, Leopold's saving wolves, or wilderness, or game management seems simplistic and parochial before global warming or environmental justice. Still, Leopold is on a moral frontier. See files and trip details under 2013.

Lecture at Westminster Canterbury Richmond (a retirement home), Richmond, Virginia. October 20, 2015. 1 hour 18 minutes. DVD disk. In our lifetimes, we who are senior citizens have learned from the recent discoveries of scientists some startling facts about the universe. At the primordial big bang, matter-energy appears, with the remarkable capacity to generate heavier elements and complexity. Life explodes on Earth, with DNA discovering, storing, and transferring information, escalating biodiversity and biocomplexity. The human genius is radically novel, hyper-immensely complex. The mind that each of us has is by far the most complex thing known in the universe. Living at the center of such caring, loving intelligence we can and must wonder about the big questions. Is there sacred Logos in, with, and under such breakthrough creativity? What have we learned in our lifetimes that helps us to answer the question whether we are the biggest?

Would this fulfill human destiny or display human arrogance, failing to embrace our home planet in care and wonder? True, we must become civilized. Be a resident on your landscape.

Online media at: http://hdl.handle.net/10217/178135 There is only one world and only one health. Health effects ripple throughout the web of life. Human health requires thinking in ecological contexts, increasingly in more global ones. This further suggests more inclusive ethical concerns: global, international, and interspecific, beyond the immediate protection of human individuals from disease. Developed countries, which may have thought themselves protected with their high technologies and advanced medical systems, discover they are still linked with health, human and animal, in the developing world, even in wild nature, and vulnerable to disruptions there, to which they may also be contributing.

Thinking of health must consider our entwined destiny with our landscapes. Ecology is strikingly like medical science. Both are therapeutic sciences. Ecologists are responsible for environmental health, which is really another form of public health. Health is just as much "skin-out" as it is "skin-in." It is hard to live a healthy life in a sick environment.

Ph.D. Dissertation at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, June 2018. Print copy and flash drive (PDF) in both Rolston Library in Eddy Hall, and also in Rolston paper archives.

This thesis examines Holmes Rolston’s theory of participation and detachment in religious experience in both individual and community senses, and his environmental ethics involving storied residence in the perception of value. I consult both Rolston’s more academic works and also his sermons. I note his strengths as a naturalist and his recognition of evolutionary and ecological process. Rolston finds intrinsic, instrumental, and systemic values in nature.

This is followed by an examination of Hans Jonas’ interpretation of texts and nature requiring the centrality of law. Hans Jonas’ environmental ethics requires responsibility and empathy. I reach an account of religious and cultural perspectives that justify human behaviors and hopes. This involves attention to Augustine, Luther, and Calvin.

Continuing, I then forge a responsible hermeneutics under the theme of “the image of God,” as found in the Priestly sources in Genesis and also sources in the Psalms and the book of Leviticus. Humans are distinct in creation and are at the apex of the hierarchy of creation. The gift of land is central in Hebrew life. The concept of “dominion" prioritizes “doing” over “being,” recovered with both humility and patience.

Human brains, dramatically more complex than anything else in the known universe, are marvelously mutable. Recent neuroscience focuses on how humans create cumulative transmissible cultures which in turn shape mental development. When cultures become literate, cognitive powers escalate. Although until recently only a comparative few learned to read and write, this takes place with the serendipitous re-use of pattern recognizing capacities, such as those for recognizing faces. With sustained reading diligence, as required during education in science, philosophy, and theology, this results in advanced cognitive skills. https://doi.org/10.1080/14746700.2019.1633058

If God exists, why is there so much suffering in the natural world? Because creativity is impossible without challenge that includes forms of suffering. The struggle for adapted fit is struggling through to something higher. The creation is cruciform in that it necessarily requires life and death struggle. Light shines in the darkness and the darkness does not overcome it. The way of nature is the way of the cross. Online at: https://hdl.handle.net/10217/211041

You are today out of place, as far as the East is from the West. Although having visited China a half dozen times, I found myself out of place, too much a Westerner to be competent to give an intelligent contribution to Chinese environmental aesthetics. But I felt I could ask you some probing questions. I conclude that Chinese are skilled by their long heritage at seeking harmony, at getting the whole picture and fitting parts into a more beautiful whole. I hope that would be the future of Chinese environmental aesthetics. Then, and only then, will Chinese flourish, and can Westerners learn from our dialogue with the East.

The coronavirus brings novel experience of staying apart and keeping life safe together when finding a pasqueflower blooming at Easter. This minute critter has played havoc with mighty humans. Nature is still there, wild nature, both predictable and chaotic. The devastating virus brings struggle and promising opportunities for more caring, love, and solidarity in our human communities. Death is not the last word. This article may also be found online at:

An ethical dilemma can emerge when the life of one species is valued higher than that of another. We illustrate how the decision to kill beavers to protect a rare plant and rare animals found in a tidewater creek demanded an ecological ethic approach.
