Last weekend my son and I went on a day hiking trip. Before we left the truck I got out the Garmin GPS and the topo maps and saved the truck as a waypoint.

We then hiked to a local creek and had lunch with eversafe meals – which are kinda like MREs.

Roughly 28 miles in and we’re finally at the bus. We’ve crossed two deep and fast moving rivers, 20+ streams, hiked 13 miles up and down mountains and hills and have a 13 mile hike back to camp to look forward to, all in 24 hours. Needless to say, we’re exhausted.

We didn’t make this trek because we idolize Chris McCandless or what he did. We don’t condone his decisions or his actions, nor do we fully understand them. Chris did lead an extraordinary life and had the courage to follow his dreams, even if they led him to his own demise.

I can’t speak for Sean, though I know we have a similar outlook on Chris’ story but as for me, I came to see the land and having a destination that was the core of a well told story made it that much more worthwhile.

Follow your dreams but not that the expense of common sense.

It’s late, I’ll likely revise this and post a link to a blog about our trip.

Constructive comments and criticisms only please. Please be respectful of other commenters, we’re each entitled to our own opinions and interpretations.

“Walking With Angels”
Angels Landing – Zion National Park, Utah

On August 3, 2007 – myself, Jonathan Paula, and close friend Ezra Horne embarked on a trek straight up the side of one of Utah’s most beautiful mountains – Angels Landing. Located in pristine Zion National Park near the south-western corner of Utah. We filmed this entire video ourselves using a small tripod often doubling back to get the necessary shots. (Yes, I did indeed climb up Walter’s Wiggle twice)
