Epic Winter

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

I recently returned from a near round the world adventure. Skiing brought me from the Dolomite’s of Italy to the atlas mtn’s of Morocco, to Glacier Bay, Haines, and the St. Elias of Alaska. I was constantly traveling for 3 months, slept in something like 60 different places from 4 star hotels, to Muslim slums, to a snowcave and tents and peoples floors. I have thousands of amazing photgraphs and will post them soon, but for now here is a teaser from each place.

Unfortunatly my camera ran out of batteries before we got to the outer coast of South East Ak, so thats it! I am stoked to be home and am trying to grow food and build a shelter on my new property. Stay tuned for more detailed reports on each trip and my progress this summer. Peace!
