Roughly 28 miles in and we're finally at the bus. We've crossed two deep and fast moving rivers, 20+ streams, hiked 13 miles up and down mountains and hills and have a 13 mile hike back to camp to look forward to, all in 24 hours. Needless to say, we're exhausted.
We didn't make this trek because we idolize Chris McCandless or what he did. We don't condone his decisions or his actions, nor do we fully understand them. Chris did lead an extraordinary life and had the courage to follow his dreams, even if they led him to his own demise.
I can't speak for Sean, though I know we have a similar outlook on Chris' story but as for me, I came to see the land and having a destination that was the core of a well told story made it that much more worthwhile.
Follow your dreams but not that the expense of common sense.
It's late, I'll likely revise this and post a link to a blog about our trip.
