Howl for Coyote Ridge
THERE is more to a natural landscape than meets the eye. We stand in awed reverence beneath Yosemite Falls or on the rim of the Grand Canyon. Who wouldn't? The grandeur is overwhelming.

Trick or treat with ears wide open
Well, I thought I was going to be able to share a little good news with you this week. You see, I believed my hearing greatly improved one magical night.
