    Cerro Alto is the name of both the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) campground and the hike to one of the highest spots in San Luis Obispo County. This lovely, wooded campground is on Highway 41, in a shaded canyon, seven miles from Morro Bay. It is a place I have camped often when visiting the area. It has twenty-two sites, pit toilets and water. It is also scenic, green and quiet. The campground is at 1,000 feet, and Cerro Also Peak is 2,624 feet, a 1,600-foot climb, quite strenuous in places

    Francisco, iconic Mount Tamalpais rises over 2500 feet almost directly above the bay. Most of this mountain is a state park, and there are many miles of hiking and biking trails. Remember that mountain biking got its start here, and most of the old fire roads are open to both hikers and bikers. The good news is that, unlike many other biking areas, these bikers seem to be considerate of hikers. That was important on the summer day I picked to hike the summit. There are a number of trails around the top

    In The Road, by Cormac McCarthy, a father and a child walk along a road in exile, unaware that they are also traveling along a path to enlightenment. The father and the child, moving south in a post apocalyptic world, look for safety and salvation.

This suggests the deeper meaning that through struggle and strife we can become closer

This includes the Centre for Engineering Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the University of Toronto where frequent trucks enter and exit to remove excavated soil (***Special Lecture***), stopping traffic on Galbraith Road and preventing tour buses from enterring. On the other hand, outside the city, construction has far less of an impact as there are often multiple lanes for traffic, and little or no pedestrian traffic. When building in Toronto then, it is important

    The Road is not actually about the world ending –either with a bang or a whimper. The novel is about the journey of an unnamed father and his son in the aftermath of a mysterious unnamed global catastrophe. It can be read as a cautionary tale about human wickedness and depravity. Their pilgrimage takes them through a lifeless world, where food can no longer be grown. Physical and environmental destruction is unleashed by the apocalyptic catastrophe. It is the moral disintegration

Why would McCarthy be on a quest for God? For instance, Steven Frye (2009) believes there are a deeper human experience and reflection is what McCarthy writes about and not a “Quest for God”. Frye refers to this passage in The Road,” Just remember that things you put into your head are there forever…You

    In Cormack McCarthy’s novel The Road, his post apocalyptic world no longer sees the sun shining, birds singing, and the enjoyment of warm air. Instead of this, the world he wrote is filled with darkness, cold, rain, and snow. Does this affect the novel? Most definitely! I read in How to Read Literature Like a Professor: for Kids, that weather is more than just rain or snow; it affects the novel’s overall meaning. When the novel begins, it is dark, rainy, snowy and gloomy. McCarthy doesn’t include
