Sample Book Insights:

#1 I was in the Southern Inyo Hospital in Lone Pine, California, after surviving five days in the mountains. I had surgery to remove the blood clots, necrotic tissue, and bone fragments in my left buttock. It took several weeks to drain the fluids from my wound.

#2 I was with a handful of students on a warm autumn day in 1979 when I met Ken, who was on a trip to Jacumba in the desert with the San Diego State University’s Recreation Club. He told me about his dream to ski the entire John Muir Trail during the winter.

#3 Bart was an experienced outdoorsman who wanted to ski from the southern end of the Sierras to Yosemite Valley. In 1928, he hiked into the Sierras and strategically placed his supplies. He then invited a famous mountaineer to accompany him. Clyde declined, so Bart went alone.

#4 I was attracted to Ken because he was a gifted athlete. I was also attracted to his sense of humor, his bravery, and his kindness. We were very compatible, and we often went on adventures together.
