    Before I embark on my greatest spiritual expedition. I decided to make a quick stop at the Liard River Hot Springs to have some last few days of pure relaxation.

    Had trouble finding a ride after my pit stop. Lucky to find Gaylord Stuckey who gave me a two day ride to get me closer to my destination. Good talker.
  • 16

    Stuckey was trying to tell me not to go yet, says the plants aren't growing at this time. But I just can't wait any longer.
  • 17

    Hitched a ride from Jim Gallion to get to my final destination. Soon I will be face to face with the stampede trail.

    Killed a moose today. Think I'm proud but am having trouble butchering it. Might have been a mistake.

    Need to cross Lake Teklanika. Time to go home. Looks like this will be difficult to cross. Soaring river.
  • 23

    River crossing was a no go. Getting scared. Feeling lonely. Need to get home.
  • 24

    Terribly terribly hungry. Feeling weak.

    Day 100 of living in the wild. Death looms as serious threat.
