All it took was one long distance hike through the High Sierras to change the course of my life forever. I went from climbing the corporate ladder, to climbing through the Sierras, to traveling the world indefinitely. My preconceived ideas about what life was about were challenged in a very big way.
Every story has a beginning, and mine was on the shores of Lake Tahoe.
As I sat digging my toes into the sandy beaches, I turned to my friend and exclaimed, "There's more out there that I want to experience. I want to sail around the world, I want to through-hike the AT. There's just more out there for me to do."
My friend, a little perplexed, stared at me with wonder. He had known me my entire life and knew that this wasn't that path that I was on.
