I‘ve wanted to read this ever since reading Into Thin Air years ago. It‘s an interesting story- Chris was not much older than I am, and I knew people who held a moral compass *somewhat* similar to his… but should never actually go to the lengths he did. It seems a small mistake might have been his undoing, but I really don‘t know how he would have lived if he had survived.

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

When I was driving along Hwy 19 in Kona yesterday there was a family of dark brown goats (males, females, kids) just casually walking down the side of the highway. Apparently they are feral& pretty common but their casual stroll captured my attention & inspired today‘s haiku:

Goat Gang 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Brown goat parade struts
Like they own the whole highway—
Cruisin‘ Kona style.

This book follows 2 women, one a hunter who gets into trouble on a hunt, and the other part of the search and rescue team. Their stories alternate and we learn more about each of them as the tension steadily builds toward the outcome. I found this wholly riveting.

I recently moved to a new town and decided to join a book group. This was their pick for January. It‘s interesting but very graphic definitely not a book I would‘ve picked up on my own but sometimes that‘s the best part of a book club is reading a book out of your comfort zone #JanuaryBookClub#Yellowstone

Hunter: A Novel | James Byron Huggins
Mehso-so

It‘s a book of it‘s time, that‘s for sure. If you can handle some of the less flattering language, you might end up enjoying this book. I found the book to be okay. The monster was hard to really picture, but interesting to say the least. Ghost is the best character in the book hands down the best good boy. I‘d say give this book a chance if you‘re bored and want to turn your brain off.

In this novel, Chris Johnson McCandless goes on an amazing journey throughout North America, eventually leading to his death in 1992. This book is a true nonfiction story that has touched the hearts of many and inspired many to go out and enjoy the vast places we live in. Chris started his journey in 1990, first heading west to Mexico.

connor.duell In Mexico, Chris faced the struggles of the unforgiving desert. After almost dying in a sandstorm Chris steered his attention back to America. Since Chris had burned all his money at the start of the trip he was as homeless as he could get. Chris came back North in hopes of finding a job to get some money for Alaska. This was the point where Chris met Wayne Westerberg. Wayne immediately took a liking to Alex and said he would give him a job. 8mo
connor.duell For little over a month, Chris worked hard long days in the sun at the farm in Carthage, South Dakota. Wayne said Chris was one of the hardest-working people he ever had at the farm. After Wayne gets arrested for selling television antennas Chris decides to start back on his journey to Alaska. Walking through the day and hitchhiking as much as possible Chris finally had made some progress in his journey. It was Arizona where Chris met Ronald Franz 8mo
connor.duell Chris spent some days living with the lonely man and told 80-year-old Ronald to go take a vacation and live out his days traveling. From this point, Chris made his journey to the west coast through British Columbia to Alaska where he met his death in April 1992. After two moose hunters discovered Chris's body only two days after his death they also found Chris's notebook. This notebook documented his whole journey. The main quote that was found is 8mo
connor.duell “Happiness is only real when shared.“ This quote has inspired many today including myself. If true stories of mountaineering and living on the land inspire I would give this book a read. Books like White Fang and Call of the Wild are very similar to “Into the Wild“. The reason I chose an eagle to symbolize the book is because of freedom. We are all lucky enough to have the opportunity to live in a place where we have full freedom. Fredom to go on 8mo
connor.duell an adventure and spend time with friends traveling the world. The theme of this book is individual versus society, nature, and survival. All of which create a suspenseful read. The movie is also incredible to watch. I would suggest reading the book first and then watching the movie since the book has some extra information which is good entail. 8mo
