An inside look at some modern adventures, from crossing the Empty Quarter by camel, to rafting the Blue Nile Gorge, to motoring across Mongolia on a WWII-era motorcycle.
Well, kinda. By Oct 10th there was enough snow to ski in Kimberley, and scenes like this are not far off!
A few trips are burbling along in the background, but for now the only solid plans are to stay put at home for a few months, enjoying writing and plenty of turns.
BLOG
Thoughts, rants, daily photos... anything I feel like getting off my chest. Updated regularly.
Every now and then I send out a newsletter - an informal update, with news of recent articles, photos, expeditions, and other going-ons.
Drop me your email and I'll add you to the mailing list. I promise to only send infrequent notes. And most importantly, no email addresses will be harmed!
With no Dirtbag last year (and BTW, there will be a Dirtbag in 2010, so stay tuned) a few buddies got together and showed their recent images. Here is the little clip I put together, with shots from the Hakai (sea kayaking), Alsek River (raft guiding), and Wales/France (family vacation for Mom’s 70th)… this might take a while to load, so perhaps press pause and walk away for a bit as it comes in!
We are feeling sluggish, and Dirtbag will be taking a sabbatical in 2009. But don’t stop shooting, editing, and getting stoked on the outdoors. 2010 will be bigger than ever.
I will be using a SPOT device this summer, which allows friends and family at home to track a team’s progress in the wilderness. Between July 14th and Aug 8th you can watch a trip down the Yukon’s Alsek River and through the Hakai Coastal Wilderness of BC by following this link: SPOTBRUCE
