My most recent leisure read was Walking the Big Wild by Karsten Heuer. The book was a reflection of the trip Heuer took in an 
effort to better understand the Y2Y corridor. This was a hot topic 10-15 years back when conservationists like Heuer were trying to work with land owners, loggers, miners and ranchers to portion off a corridor that connects Yellowstone to the Yukon. Heuer walked this trail in the span of about a year with Webster, his loyal Border Collie.
Bear encounters, hardships, and breathtaking views keep the pages turning. As you journey with Heuer through the wilderness, you get a taste of the respect he felt by the end of the trip for the big wild.
Heuer’s most recent book published in 2007 is titled Being Caribou: Five months on foot with an arctic herd. After such a rewarding read Walking the Big Wild, I anticipate reading his next adventure.
