John White passes away in Spokane, WA leaving the running of the shop to Otto.

John and Otto are reunited in Spokane at the corner of Main and Stevens.

I am reminded that my roots are in the Pacific Northwest when California forestry people seem to neverhave heard of Filson tin pants and I'm the only one wearing White's boots from Spokane.

Cliffs began to appear on both sides. The snow-covered mountains themselves had disappeared,

receded from my view, I couldn't see them any more but now I was beginning to feel them more.
