Some dreams are a long time in the making. I know that for me the dream of hitting the trail with my house on my back was born many years ago... and I was just needing someone to show me how to take those first steps. I owe more thanks to Mark and Trisha than I can possibly ever convey, and of course the debt to my lovely bride-to-be Marina is now way outta control.

Hope you enjoy this chance to relive our little journey... I've weeded 'em out the best I could, but for those of you with a slow connection it might seem as if you were right there the whole time! Click the East arrow in the compass above to begin.

Enjoy!
