I would love to visit, but view it from a different angle where one doesn't see the desecration.
Somehow I have an affinity for mountains - I take solace in stone/rock. The Adirondack range calls to my soul - it's always been this way with me. It's as if I can feel spirit.

Lots of this is new to me. I always appreciate an opportunity to learn. So much history is lost to the "victors". Thank you.
