As some of you may know Cory and I have made the outdoors a huge part of our lives. Whether it is rock climbing (how we met...awww), backpacking or gardening...these are all activities that have brought us together.
It is always great to hear about others who share similar passions to ours. As I was driving to work Monday morning, listening to the radio, the host began talking about a young man who was about to take an amazing journey. Nathan Melhoff, who is my age, was getting ready to begin a backpacking trip - from Minnesota to California.
I won't lie, listening to his story sparked a lot of jealousy and a little anger that I was so tied down to student loans and a job, but mostly I just felt the need to give him some encouragement. Walking is hard. It takes a mountain of perseverance.
No, I have never met Nathan...though he has invited anyone to walk with him...but I want to share this with you all because it is so darn cool and inspiring. He has a great blog that allows you to follow the whole journey.
Here's the blogpage.
Follow it, and leave some comments to let him know you are paying attention!
