“A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet introspection.” – Patrick Rothfus
When was the last time you did something to challenge yourself? What would it be like to be stripped of all your comforts and connections?
How would you navigate days full of uncertainty and unknown? Who would you meet along the way and what impact would you have on each other?
Where do you begin, eat, drink, sleep, and end?
Why do you do this…or anything? Join Rob on his annual cross state journey to find answers to these questions and many others along the way.
Current Journey
The next Journey will begin in Owyhee, NV and travel around 700 miles through Bonners Ferry, ID to the Canadian border.
Historically, running has been my mode of operation for a long journey, but some unfortunate occurrences with discs and joints have given me the opportunity to rethink the plan. I will be traveling this time by road bicycle. I consider this to be a far greater risk of failure considering the lack of experience and very short training runway.
Prior to beginning my journey, I will spend some time climbing Elephant’s perch by Red Fish lake in Idaho.
