Folks have sometimes asked me, regarding my writing persona, “What’s with the whole Adirondack Outlaw thing?”
I always smile & chuckle to myself when I hear that. Governmental agencies, rich people & grown-ups fool themselves into thinking they have the power to make all the rules and control everything. Young boys schooled in the ways of the mountains learn differently. That’s not their fault. That’s the grown-ups’ fault. Grown-ups’ primary motivation and focus manifests itself in an unending series of laws of denial and posted signs.
All an Adirondack boy wants to do is go fishing.
“Show me an Adirondack kid with a bike & a rod, and I’ll show you an outlaw.”
Another trout season is upon us. Time to go fishing.
Yup.
