Two On The Shore

The title is for Tischer and I being back on the shore of Lake Superior and stoked for adventure from our new home in Grand Marais, Minn. We are Two on The Shore.

You can find me at Lutsen Resort as their new Director of Activities & Recreation, a role that I am extremely excited about.

This winter is shaping up to be a busy one between some freelance writing opportunities, an adventure film to work on, and a stream skiing project I've undertaken with another buddy.

Also check out the kayak expedition I completed with a good friend in 2010 (www.superiordream.com).

A Long Time Coming

Alaska has always been a taunting mystery to me.  I've heard and read lots of words about it, but have never seen for myself.  And for me, therein lies the mystery.  Well, it won't be for much longer.  

Along with friends Greg and Erin, I have taken a job with Adventures Sixty North in Seward, AK.  I'll be guiding sea kayakers into Bear Glacier on the southern shores of the state.  I am thrilled to think that come this spring I'll finally set foot on soil and paddle in waters I have long hoped to.  

An adventure awaits Tischer and I as we turn the Red Ranger north from Mount Hood and I welcome it with open arms, along with a mix of uncertainty, anxiousness, and enthusiasm.  Come what may, I will do my best that T and I keep living the good life, for we are both members of this planet and appreciative of its offerings.  And so on the occasions that I find myself holed up in this cabin, I can think of the future and be excited or everyday ahead that will deliver us there.

Congratulations, lucas P. It's been more than a few years that you've been talking about and wanting to be an Alaskan kayak guide and I'm glad to see that it's going to happen. Plus, you're going to be the best damn guide the Gulf of Alaska has ever seen.

Congrats Lucas!

I'm glad to hear that life is handing you another adventure. And Alaska is always somewhere we have wanted to visit, so hopefully we'll find a way to get out there sometime.
