| Introduction | This trip has been in the works for 22 years when i first read the book, "Wilderness of Denali, Explorations of a Hunter Naturalist" by Charles Sheldon. i thought, wouldn't it be great to be in Denali, at the exact same time and in the exact same places Sheldon was 100 years earlier. That 22 years went by quick, a lot has changed, but my desire for the trip has never wavered. Fortunately i have a loving and understanding wife, Christine, who has supported this dream since we met. Also, i work for the greatest organization a person could ever have the privilege to be a part of, the Denali Education Center. The Board and Staff are extremely dedicated and possess a deep understanding of the need to educate and connect all people to Denali. i am a fortunate soul to have such wonderful people as friends and colleagues. Ultimately this trip is about "Seeking the Balance" in my life and exploring how wilderness can help to attain a balanced world. By living in Denali's wilderness for a short time with very simple comforts i hope to learn valuable lessons which will help us all. |
