One year I was simply visiting a friend and a tree hollered, Get me out of here! and jumped in the back of my truck.. ..well almost. Nothing very extraordinary has happened to me while tree hunting around here, as I say, because I dont have enough experience. But things were different back in my youth. We were Henry Mountain tree hunters. My dad was, and his dad was before him. We had generations of experience to guide us toward trouble.

Ruess Blockprints Exhibited In Kane County By Arts Council afternoon in our suede leather basketball shoes. It was a long and eventful slide home. And, of course, I recall the first winter when I was placed in charge of the tree hunting expedition. The snow lay so deep, and the air had turned so cold high up there in Bromide Basin that the trees were exploding like dynamite charges. We left town armed with picks and shovels, prepared to mine our tree out of a glacier. My fathers brand new Ford pickup flew up the mountain. On and on we drove, higher and higher we climbed. We passed many beautiful Christmas Tree hunting spots, but oh no, our generations of experience told us that we must ascend to the frozen summit. We found our tree and quarried it from the rock hard ice. But somewhere along the way we had forgotten about gravity. Sir Isaac Newton discovered that it takes an apple tree years to struggle upwards, and months for the fruit to form, but only a moment for gravity to pull it down again. We remembered about gravity when we started down the mountain. Within a hundred yards, Dad's brand new pickup was skating faster than a scream of terror toward the desert floor below. pine that Every speed-blurrezoomed past represented a $500 curve in the bumper. It looked like certain death awaited me, not on the mountain, but back at home. Then a wonderfully soft snow bank jumped out in front of the new truck and saved my Christmas... As I said before, I dont have enough experience yet up on the Kaibab to make my tree hunting trips really exciting. Im sure it will come. Until then. Ill have to be content with the mundane pleasures of a quiet walk in the snow, a few hours spent with my family and friends and the beautiful view between the tall trees. That view never fails to remind me of my good fortune. I recall driving home to Kanab from the Grand Canyon of Mexico a few years back. Certainly we had seen some pretty country south of the border. But as soon as we started down off the mountain and looked out toward the tiers of cliffs; Vermillion, White, and Pink, we knew that we had seen nothing finer. I was thinking that very thought last evening, my family beside me in the warm pickup, sunset burning the cliffs below, and our perfect little Christmas Tree whispering in the back. An exhibition of blockprints by Everett Ruess, curated by the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance for the Utah Arts Councils Traveling Exhibition Program, will be on display at the Kane County Courthouse from December 2 to January 2. This exhibition features Everett near Ruess, who disappeared led him to begin his exploration of the southwest. Ruess beautifully captured his feelings in poems, essays and letters sent to family and friends as well as in his watercolors, sketches and blockprints. In an excerpt from a letter sent home from one of his trips one detects a sense of the artists desire to perfect his own skills as well as a sense of ah, the California coastline and other desert scenes. It came about through the combined efforts of the SUWA, Waldo Ruess, and the two California artists, Thomas Carlyle and Stuart Steinhardt, who spent five months restoring the fragile 50 linocuts. year-olThe Traveling Exhibition Program is a statewide outreach d d County, Fredonia, and Moccasin for $12 per year. L. ' ss by Neal Ekker I went Christmas Tree hunting last weekend. It has always been one of my favorite excuses for getting out of the house, out of town, and as high into the mountains as the snow will allow. Christmas is just a notion in my mind, just a distant memory and a dim, hopeful idea stuck far in the future, until I see my tree. Then Christmas becomes real. For many families this year, hunting that special tree will be the opening ritual of their holiday season. Some of us will begin our holidays by giving thanks for a special blessing: The opportunity, if we choose, to hunt this years Christmas Tree in some of the most beautiful forest country in Creation. Im not an expert Christmas Tree hunter around these parts. I havent hunted them here enough yet. It takes years of experience to know exactly where to go to lose the axe in a deep snow bank or get the pickup stuck clear up to its fenders.
