I have to apologize. I haven’t been around for a few weeks. The Chinese version of the flu and my firmly American immune system got into a cage match. The Chinese flu won in what will go down as one of my immune systems weakest performances. After 17 solid days of being sick and a…
“Going to the Mountains Is Going Home” – John Muir No – I’m not cutting corners. Not much happened for me on day 4. Infact, I took less than 100 pictures that day. Why? Well, part of leading a tour in central Tibet is the dirty work – the business side. Keeping our workmates happy…

I hope all of you are having an amazing holiday season and stuffed to the gills with food made mostly of butter and sugar. For me, it’s been a busy but good December. From December 8th until December 20th I was on the road. Though I didn’t leave the country during this marathon trip –…
*Make sure you continue to check out the mobile section of the site. I’ll be live blogging (as much as possible) from the beginning to the end… just because I figure you guys deserve to know exactly how cold I am. Tonight at 9:30pm(7:30am CST) I depart for an 9 day 5,000km+ trip from my home…
