“It was a steep slope carpeted in forest duff and bristling with sparse pines, firs, and upthrust chunks of pitted dark gray granite. He saw an opening about halfway up the slope and led Wolf to it, slipping a couple of times on the slick needles and fallen pinecones. He inspected the spot. Judging it relatively level and well sheltered by both trees and humps of granite and sandstone of various sizes, he decided he’d throw down here, build a small fire. He’d camp alone. He had no desire to ...be anywhere near the others. Funny how at times when he was alone he felt a prickling need for human companionship. Only, when he found that companionship it was, more often than not, far from companionable. Humans were the rottenest of creatures. He had no delusions that he himself was any different, but he had no choice but to tolerate himself. Amongst others, he found himself yearning to be back alone in some remote stretch of mountain range or saguaro-studded desert plain—just himself, Wolf, and the wind.MoreLessRead More Read Less
