The concept of wilderness is something that every man and woman should grapple with. It is in wild places that the soul finds its wings and one can gain perspective on life. Many wild places are diminishing as the footprint of man grows larger. Rockwood is a secluded haven where many people have experienced an aspect of wilderness.
