It took a long time to get here, and a fair amount of planning and resources, but now that I’m here….so awesome.
What a day. I woke up at 7AM, an early start by river rat standards. Last night we spoke with a young man named Charles about getting a boat ride from the Bering sea coast back to Emmonak.
We woke up today at a beautiful campsite overlooking the river and a massive mountain range in the distance
After 103 days traveling the mightiest river in North America via canoe I have reached my destination; the Gulf of Mexico. From Lake Itasca to the Gulf, source to sea on the Mighty Mississippi in 103 days.
I woke up with my head spinning after a night of shotguns and pulls of "Uncle Jim". The crew of hunters that I had been celebrating with…
I woke up before sunrise with plans of getting out early and hopes of reaching the Gulf by evening. By my count, 45 miles would put me in the ocean.
What a trip. One month ago today I was deep in the jungle of Northern Brazil.
