Of all the fire-mountains which, like beacons, once blazed along the Pacific Coast, Mount Rainier is the noblest.

Our National Parks (1901), chapter 1: The Wild Parks and Forest Reservations of the WestJohn Muir
The view we enjoyed from the summit [of Mount Rainier] could hardly be surpassed in sublimity and grandeur; but one feels far from home so high in the sky, so much so that one is inclined to guess that, apart from the acquisition of knowledge and the exhilaration of climbing, more pleasure is to be found at the foot of the mountains than on their tops. Doubly happy, however, is the man to whom lofty mountain tops are within reach, for the lights that shine there illumine all that lies below.

From the city of angels off the Pacific Ocean. Good morning, good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation, around the world. I'm George Noory. Welcome to America's most listened-to late night talk show, Coast to Coast AM.

I know that many Americans are also worried about the potential risks to the United States. So I want to be very clear: We do not expect harmful levels of radiation to reach the United States, whether it’s the West Coast, Hawaii, Alaska, or U.S. territories in the Pacific. Let me repeat that: We do not expect harmful levels of radiation to reach the West Coast, Hawaii, Alaska, or U.S. territories in the Pacific. That is the judgment of our Nuclear Regulatory Commission and many other experts.

Tolkien's landscapes are full of familiar landmarks, though every reader has a personal view of Middle-earth. My own is partially drawn from places I know; Old Man Willow is grafted from a grove of ancient, pollarded willows just down the lake from my Swiss home. The trees which hide the Hobbits from the Black Rider are on the West coast of Vancouver Island, half a week's hike down the Pacific Rim Park, with a heavy mist blowing in off the Pacific.

He will make a strange combustion in the state of his soul, who at the landing of every cockboat sets the beacons on fire.
