Backpacking through Chicago Basin - Greeting card

Sling a heavy backpack over your shoulders for a journey into the woods. Lose yourself on a trail. Find yourself in a wildflower-filled mountain meadow with hummingbirds flitting about your face. Ah, the universe speaks to your spirit and you answer with silent awe. Along the journey, sit for a moment by a white-water stream to watch a million diamonds sparkle off its turbulent waters. John Muir said, "Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity; that mountain parks are but fountains of life." Shun the deadly apathy of luxury by sitting near a campfire while shooting stars streak through the ink-black sky above you. Oh look! The Big Dipper pours its magic into your soul.
