Into the Wild



I like how Christopher McCandless looks in this photo. It is the last photo he took before he died, but even though he's standing with a goodbye note in his hand he seems so very happy and satisfied with where he is. 


He is definitely an inspiration. So very likable.
I recently wrote with this guy who spent 40 days in the woods this year. I wanted to learn about his experiences and what it was like living on such extreme conditions. He was great! He had so many things to share and only positive things to say about it. I really want to do something similar even though I know it's pretty dangerous if I'm not careful.
Now the next day he wrote to me telling me the talk we'd had had stirred up his mind and made him pack immediately for a new journey into the woods. I love his determination to leave the life he dislikes and all civilization behind. No rules, no formalities, no nothing.
 

Please be careful Gerry!
