Resting In Your Favorite Place

I love hiking and now that the weather is turning cooler, and the fact that I have my new Canon SD1000, I am sure we'll be taking a nice trip to the mountains.

I have always loved the mountains. Whether I was hiking up at Mt Charleston outside of Las Vegas, near Duck Creek in Southern Utah, or Amicalola Falls in North Georgia, I am always at home in the mountains.

One thing we make sure to do when hiking it to carry out any items we carried into the area. Most times we end up carrying out more than we took in, as we try to help keep the area clean for other hikers when they come to the area.

We figure if we all do our part to help keep the environment clean, we can all enjoy it that much more. I decided long ago that when I die, I want to have my ashes scattered in the mountains, preferably next to a mountain stream that is home to beautiful rainbow trout.

It turns out that Richard Lamb New traditions offers biodegradable cremation urns for people like me. I would hate to be cremated only to have my ashes sitting next to a fireplace, or on someone's shelf for the rest of their lives. I would rather be placed into one of those biodegradable urns, and placed into a pond at one of my favorite fishing holes. What better way to be sent off on your journey than in an urn that is environmentally friendly and biodegradable.

I think this is the perfect alternative for those of us who want to look out for the environment, and still be put to rest in our favorite places. Just think, at the end of the hike there would be one less item to carry out.
