You can find solitary people in a big city, too. But if you have a respect for nature, it would make sense to get out into the outdoors.

The really sad thing is it's difficult to be alone in the wilderness. You have to cross check maps with flight paths so when you're in the middle of some remote mountain range you don't have to listen to the drone of planes flying overhead dozens of times a day, or the passage of cars on a highway reverberating off canyon walls, or the buzz of electric wires crisscrossing the countryside.

Wow, never thought of that, especially the flight path one. No reason for airlines to care about a supposedly empty patch of land. Although if you're far enough from an airport, they're probably high enough not to bother you.
