Aldo Leopold once lived in a cabin in New Mexico near Tres Piedras. His time there left an impression, not so much for what he did while he lived there – he was only at the cabin for around 9 months – but for who he would become. His legacy has persisted over time, manifesting itself in the quaint and rustic cabin, reaching out to those who stay there, and especially to the person who maintains the cabin, Richard Rubin, a retired medical doctor who now writes his own books, creating his own legacy that's intertwined with Leopold's.In this episode, Thinking Like a Mountain, we talk with Richard Rubin about his life, his time taking care of Aldo Leopold's old cabin, and the sense of stewardship it all inspires.A special thanks to Richard Rubin.
