Little known John Muir quotes.

"What do you mean, we're out of Scotch?" - The Life and Letters of John Muir.

"The taxi service here is atrocious" - Son of the Wilderness: The Life of John Muir.

"Will those damn birds ever shut up"? - John of the Mountains: The Unpublished Journals of John Muir.

"A 1200 room resort would make a lot of money here" - The Life and Letters of John Muir.

Okay, so Muir didn't actually say ANY of these things. I spend 35-50 days per year hiking and camping and as an avid outdoorsman, I appreciate everything Muir did as an early advocate of preservation of wilderness, but come on. No one loved the sound of his own voice more than Muir. And not every word he ever uttered is the cosmic pearl of wisdom his fans believe. Many years ago I read "John of the Mountains" and found him more than a little pretentious. http://vault.sierraclub.org/john_muir_exhibit/writings/favorite_quotations.aspx

That said, this was an entertaining film showcasing the beauty of the Muir Trail.
