What reading level is The Outdoor Life of California book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here the strong swimmer finds joy inexpres- sible. Dashing under the swirling breakers he floats triumphantly for a moment in the long hollows of the ocean, and then with an increasing vigor again and again evades the rush of waters and with practiced arms steers his way to the "sea incarnadine" that lies like another sky beyond the breakers. Here, sum- mer or winter, he flings aside the resisting waters and heads oceanward a long, steady pressure, an overhead stroke or a side stroke carries hi...m far from view, until presently he 1 1 turns shoreward with rapid strokes when he once more margins the breakers. These he uses like a circus rider, and mounts horse after horse until he is again on the shore lines. The strength of it, the joy of it, only the swimmer can feel.
And all this in winter as safely as in sum- mer. Indeed, it is absurd to talk of winter in the Golden State. All days are open to the athlete and his pleasures.
If you tire of the old ocean, then turn your eyes lakeward. Tahoe sits in the Sierra like a great golden-gray bowl, full of limpid water teeming with silver-coated trout; guarded by mountain ranges so weird in form and in color that one naturally looks for the gnomes, elfs, goblins, which have, or ought to have, their homes in the curious crevices, caverns, brakes, peaks, domes, curves, and bends which make of Mount Tallac and his kin a giant's cause- way leading to a land of delight.
