Once I climbed into a mountain lion's cage and she bounded at me and put her paw on my face, but she kept her claws withdrawn.

David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.

She just kept hitting me in the head with her fists, over, and over and over.

Of all the mountain ranges I have climbed, I like the Sierra Nevada the best.

After much prayerful consideration, I feel that I must say I have climbed my last political mountain.

I don't go out with the idea of seeing an elk, bear, mountain lion. If I go out and keep my expectations in check I always see something interesting ... It's a huge country. It's just unimaginably rich with what you can see hear, smell and remember if you open yourself up to the adventure.
