A writer by trade, Ruff spends as much of her spare time as possible away from the computer and in what she calls the real world, that is, the natural world. Over the years she has been an active member of the American Youth Hostels and the Explorer's Club of Pittsburgh, where she has established valuable friendships with like-minded outdoor enthusiasts.

Together, they track the activities of kidnappers and murderers, investigate a cult, rescue a psychic in peril, cross paths with an unconventional scientist, and reunite an international fugitive with his family.

Robert's quest in nature is diverse, whether he is hiking miles of tame trails or wild ones; paddling calm waters or running rapids; fly-fishing a mountain stream or cruising a Great Lake for angling adventures. His dedication to promoting the wonders of the outdoors extends to his wife and two children, who frequently accompany him and enrich his observations and insights.

In April 1868, a very young John Muir stepped off a boat in San Francisco and inquired about the quickest way out of town. \"But where do you want to go?\" was the response, to which Muir replied, \"Anywhere that is wild.\" Using Muir's personal correspondence and published articles, Peter and Donna Thomas have reconstructed the real story of Muir's literal ramblings over California hills and through dales, with lofty Sierra Nevada peaks, Englishmen, and bears mixed in for good measure. The trip is illustrated by charming cut-paper illustrations that take their inspiration from Muir's love of nature. John Muir's story-telling is so compelling that even 150 years later, seeing the world through his eyes makes us want to head out into the wild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLIBRARY JOURNAL, February 15, 2018:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe authors have reimagined the narrative as an ebullient letter penned to inspire Muir's friends to experience the wonders of California in person.
