To the memory of John Muir and to all those whom he inspired to walk the path he trod
On Renewing Muir's Dream
Today on Muir's birthday we Muir devotees walk the valley of Hetch Hetchy where the Ahwahneechees collected grasses to weave their baskets when Muir was born back in Scotland; we hike along the dammed up waters of Hetch Hetchy where the dreams of Indians and John Muir and glacially polished cliffs with sugar pines, mountain paint, and kitkidizie were all drowned. We hike to the foot of Wapama Falls to catch a misty glimpse of the real power of this inundated valley, that other Yosemite the Scotsman dreamed of saving and we dream of draining if only we can find a way. Richard F. Fleck April 21, 1990
