I am also a fan of AA, and suffer from the same nostalgia for "unspoiled" western wilderness. I've lived in many states and a number of countries: I love the Vienna Woods, the English and French countrysides, and the Fjords of Norway. The Alps are incredible, for example, but having seen them in person I suppose I appreciate photos of them more than if they were only an abstraction in two dimensions. Anyway, there is nothing quite like the Western US forests and wilderness. It is rather unique. That doesn'tmake it intrinsically better than any other forest, nor did Eric state that, but it is nonetheless special. Will von Dauster
