THE Northern CALIFORNIA ISSUE

[From the Editor’s Letter]

There’s something about driving through Northern California that doesn’t make sense. The sublimity of its wilderness embodies a romanticized ideal of nature—one that is mistakenly believed to be separate from the industrialized, urban lifestyles we seek asylum from in our modern age. For all the magic and mysticism these landscapes entrance us with, observing the environment through the confines of an automobile begins to feel, in a word, paradoxical.
