This is from the Wikipedia entry on Douglas:

Douglas was a self-professed outdoorsman, so much so that according to The Thru-Hiker's Companion, a guide published by the Appalachian Trail Club, Douglas hiked the entire 2,000-mile trail from Georgia to Maine. His love for the environment carried through to his judicial reasoning.


He loved nature, but his legal work was not always conducted in a traditional way. Here's an account at the Arlington Cemetery site: http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/wdouglas.htm


There's a William O. Douglas Wilderness in Central Washington: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_O._Douglas_Wilderness
