In
traversing the earth and living with the wilderness from Africa to the
California Sierras, author Hoover Liddell came to realize the great
energy of youth as we struggle to educate our planet and ourselves.
Mountain Road is his journey of life and travel through the planet’s
cities and towns as well as his time in San Francisco and living inside
its schools. From a mountain road out of Africa, humankind continues its
journey into a timeless universe. Human freedom is not dwelling in the
past or the future but in the remarkableness and freshness of the
present, where the adventure is.
His
journey from the Nigerian rainforests and desert across Africa through
the Serengeti plains and the mountain road of Kilimanjaro takes him to
the mountains of the Sierras. In his expeditions he discovers moments of
vibrant energy and days of staying alive that are more profound than
all the years of teaching in the schools. He finds the wilderness
empowers us to find our own way and deepens our capabilities as we
educate ourselves and the earth.
Of what meaning is school or life itself if we are not serious and motivated for the adventure to educate the planet?

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
