Guest Column, David Arthur Ramsey: Preserving a Hidden Jewel

David Arthur Ramsey is an outdoor photographer, writer and conservationist, born and raised in Unicoi County, Tennessee.
There are hints in this sequence of Kurt Rheinheimer’s brilliant (!)deploying of his rain tarp of what it takes to stop for a great lunch in any season: See silly cap, jillion-dollar rain jacket, waterproof boots and red pack cover still protecting Gail Rheinheimer’s pack contents.

From the Editor: Every Day’s a Great Day for a Picnic

If you have the gear and the goodies, the context and the companion, there’s no reason that every lunch in the woods shouldn’t be a full delight.
