As footage of the Expedition becomes available, I will post them under the Video section of this website, which can be accessed via the homepage. I hope you enjoy them!

Looks like he is working on something, I’ll try to find out just what he’s doing.

On July 8th I made a scout of the trail conditions south of Highway 58.  My aims were to ascertain the frequency of snow its and depth along the trail, to compare said measurements with reports I had received from hikers 7 days prior, to thereby judge the rate of snow melt and improvement of trail conditions per week, and to ultimately judge it’s navigability by stock in the week to follow.  Also of great interest to me was the amount of grass and forage available to my mule.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion. For most men, it appears to me, are in a strange uncertainty about it, whether it is of the devil or of God, and have somewhat hastily concluded that it is the chief end of man here to “glorify God and enjoy him forever.”
