Welcome !

This site exists to advocate finding the middle of nowhere; the place where you can park on the double yellow line, eat a sandwich and contemplate where the hell you are on the map.  I encourage you to go out and put yourself into situations that become the stuff of legendary stories.  Have a look around and enjoy.

2010 Challenge Announced

2009 Challenge The 2010 Challenge is the list of 10 tasks that I've set out for myself to accomplish this year.  The overview is published and progress reports and summaries will be published under the 2010 Challenges menu in the Challenges section of this website.  The list this year is significantly harder than last years and I'll be exploring my limits, but as it says in Mountaineering: Freedom of the Hills,"Use creativity and boldness to overcome the difficulty."
