Thoughts from Justice Hobbs:
"I like writing, reading the writing of others, and traveling through the imaginative landscape of this great country with family, friends, maps and guides we meet along the way. The heart of this little book embraces a series of travel adventures with my wife Bobbie, starting with our Peace Corps service in Colombia in the mid-sixties and extending through my travels with grandson K.J. to grand places of our country's legacy and future. The poems and prose poems are way markers and cairns."
