Kyle Bock has had some dark days, not least because he
lived in Alaska for over fifteen years with no running water
and, for the past few years, with no electricity. Kyle has taken on
the challenge of an AT thru-hike with an almost professional
approach, yet enjoyed his journey as he contemplates what the trail
means to him. He is expressing himself with his beautiful
photographs, altering them to reflect how he felt at the time.
The only contact information that he shared was his
Instagram account, which is under the name of Bockasaurus. Pay a
visit to Kyle's page; you'll be glad that you did. The three photos
here are examples of the thought he has put into his pictures.
Kyle hopes to complete the
trail in about four months; I'm really looking forward to catching
up with him on his return. Attie has reassessed her
situation and is now pushing forward with her hike. She continues
to enjoy her adventures but has been a great example of somebody
who may have expected much of what she has experienced but didn't
necessarily count on the yearning to be at home. I faced similar
times when I was away; I'm just glad that she has made this
reassessment and pushed forward. As always, thanks to
everybody who supports the show. I hope that you listen to my new
podcast, Mighty Blue on the John Muir Trail when it comes out soon.
