As the story unfolds, Kerney must dig deep into stories from his own past, as well as stories of the native people of the…

ancient people and Native Americans. The reader gets glimpse of the stories Outland used to share when Kathleen finds her father in his study. The professor confesses that he wished he could travel to New Mexico and search for Blake. Kathleen responds by saying that she also wanted to go to New Mexico and that it was her “romantic dream” growing up (Cather, chap.11, para. 24). This romantic dream is of course fueled by Outland’s time in Cliff City and is a far from accurate portrayal of the…

Philmont, New Mexico, one of the most beautiful and wonderful places on earth. Philmont is a two week wonderful camping trip that changes your life for the better, whether that be the good times you had on the trip, the beautiful breathtaking views, or the extremely hard backpacking you have to endure, for me it was a little bit of each.

The absolute location is the precise location of an area, and for Arizona that is 34.00 degrees north, 112.00 degrees west. I’m new to Arizona.
