14 Years Ago Today

October 27th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

A series of posts in this blog are titled “14 Years Ago Today.” They are transcriptions of my globe-trekking adventures from hand-written journals I’ve kept over the years.  These journals carried me through the Alaskan wilderness, urban travels in the lower 48 like perfect blue-bird powder ski days and whitewater guiding on the Colorado River. Beyond North America, they capture my intercontinental adventures across Africa, New Zealand, Australia and everywhere in-between.

The entries are word for word. They’re not meant to be articulate with good grammar. These were written stream-of-consciousness to capture the exhilaration of the moment, magic of the experience and both the romantic idea and the gritty reality of a traveler.

Written in locations like mountain tops, open fields of wildflowers, jungle hostels and the odd tea shack, these tales capture some of my most memorable, magical moments in a few lines.

I hope these entries inspire the spirit of adventure for anyone who reads them.
