The spiritual uplift and optimism of the Great Outdoors help us in times of suspicion and doubt.

 

"The spiritual uplift, the goodwill, cheerfulness and optimism that accompanies every expedition to the outdoors is the peculiar spirit that our people need in times of suspicion and doubt . . . No other organized joy has values comparable to the outdoor experience."

Herbert Hoover
