...continued hiker’s journal…
Are you unfettered by credit card debt and staggering mortgage payments or time-share condo schemes? The lycra- clad sprocket jocks have their place in bagging another trophy; and the Grandé skinny- Latte sippers of the tidy- whitey suburbanized elitist Coffee shops have their 4G networks working for them as they tweet and text- away. All have their place under the tent of the so- called late American Experiment.
Current Reading List:
· Conquering the Impossible, My 12,000 Mile Journey Around The Arctic Ocean/ Mike Horn
Finished Horn’s through- hiker’s expedition narrative. Goes with saying that over the twenty- seven months he traveled on a survival journey; he was exposed to raw political affairs, traveled by kayak, sailboats, pulled the sledge and skied with a kite, snow-shoed pulling the sledge over around and through pressure ridges. He was befriended many times by local people of the Canadian, Siberian and European Arctic. He survived setting his tent on fire at -60F. Suffered frostbite numerous times and lived out there above the Arctic Circle for two polar winters in a row.
