The Klamath Mountains are a rugged and beautiful range that stretches from northern California into southern Oregon. They are home to a diverse array of wildlife, including black bears, mountain lions, deer, elk, and eagles. The mountains are also home to a number of small towns and logging communities.

In Beginner's Luck, author Emily Voigt chronicles her experiences living in the Klamath Mountains for a year. Voigt is a passionate hiker, camper, and fisher, and she quickly fell in love with the mountains' beauty and solitude. However, she also discovered that living off the land is not always easy.

Voigt writes about the challenges of finding food, water, and shelter in the wilderness. She also writes about the dangers of encountering wildlife, including a close encounter with a black bear. However, Voigt's experiences in the Klamath Mountains are ultimately more positive than negative. She learns how to live in harmony with nature, and she develops a deep appreciation for the mountains' beauty and resilience.

Beginner's Luck is a beautifully written and thought-provoking book that will appeal to anyone who loves the outdoors. Voigt's writing is clear and concise, and her descriptions of the Klamath Mountains are both vivid and poetic. She is also a gifted storyteller, and her accounts of her experiences in the wilderness are both entertaining and inspiring.

If you are looking for a book that will make you appreciate the beauty of the natural world, then I highly recommend Beginner's Luck. Emily Voigt's writing is both beautiful and thought-provoking, and her experiences in the Klamath Mountains will stay with you long after you finish reading her book.
