The major attraction of Squak Mountain is its urban wilderness.

Famous quotes containing the word park:
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Borrow a child and get on welfare.

be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
