CLICK HERE to read an article Florence Williams, author of The Nature Fix, wrote for REI's Co-Op Journal featuring Ken talking about the "Three Day Effect," the point when the wilderness becomes your reality, the veneer of civiliazation falls away, group dynamics solidify, and a new reality emerges. 


NEWS! Ken Sanders has written a reminiscence of the meeting of Edward Abbey and R. Crumb 
that took place in Arches National Park, over 30 years ago.
This piece, with accompanying photos by Vicki Barker, has been published in The Canyon Country Zephyr.
