In lieu of resupply boxes.....
I have had a lot of friends from back home and in my social media world offer to send resupply boxes to me while I am on my trek around the U.S. While the thought and offer really means a lot to me, the reality is that it has been very difficult to schedule resupplies with how dynamic my trip has been. I am really trying to practice a simple principle of adapting, accepting, and appreciating adversity and being present in the moment and so many times that mean on the fly adjustments to my plan. A great example of this is when I arrived in Cascade Locks on the PCT and the fire situation in Oregon and Washington was so awful that I decided to jump over to the Rockies and hit the Tetons and the Continental Divide Trail. Now I have to adjust all my resupply boxes to my new itinerary which can still change due to fires and early winter storms. Flat rate shipping and food is not cheap and trying to have boxes sent from the original destination to a new destination can be very difficult if not impossible. So in lieu of resupply boxes I am going to make some of my favorite photo collections available on a donation basis. Every few weeks I will put a new collection up and will accept donations through Zelle. I know everything is expensive these days and money is tight, so I will let you guys determine the value.
I will have the first collection posted to all my socials in a few weeks when I arrive in Lander Wyoming after tackling The Wind River Range.
Thanks for all the support along the way everyone!
