i'd like to think that John Muir and i would have been best buds.

"The mountains are calling and I must go." - John Muir

As some of you may know, I went HOME. to alaska and the pac NW. it was amazing. going home is like coming home to myself in a major, major league way. i got so filled up, i felt like i was running on reserves for so long, and going home always makes me feel rejuvenated - laughing on beaches, tromping through old growth, smokin' cigs and drinking THE best creamy lattes, listening to the vibrations coming from the Chilkat Mountain range and loving myself. i made a promise to myself to go up there every year and run in the wet woods and swim in the cold waters. i am so very blessed.

"I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in." - john muir

"To the lover of wilderness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world." -john muir
