Daniel,

We met about a month ago at Sevilla Restaurant – and you told me about your journey. The first few pages of the book sound good. When I have down time, I’ll look through the blog posts.

How’s the book coming?

Hi Indie!
Great to hear that the book is happening! Your blog is great, and I admire your committment — taking two hours every day on the trail to write your journal cannot be easy.
I am returning to WA in late Sept to finish the last sections from Stevens Pass, which is why I returned to your blog — to get info to help us decide whether we (I and 3 friends) should take the Glacier Peak detour or the old PCT. I think we will take the old route but allow an extra day …
Good luck with your book!

Bob- Thank you so much for your comment. Even though you wrote your comment two weeks ago, i read it as soon as you sent it. It gave me a great case of the goosebumps. I read it to my mom, and the same thing. It is so amazing to hear that it STILL inspires, 20,055 hits later. Your comment gave me a great sense of encouragement. I plan to leave my blog alive, and the book project continues. I just finished day 42- 132 pages in…….

Daniel,

I just checked back to see the news about the book. ‘Can’t wait to read it! In the meantime, please don’t remove jerseyfresh.net. I’ve read it start-to-finish and refer back to it on a regular basis, picking up your travels in various places. For me, reading your daily posts and viewing the awesome photos is a great way to temporarily escape the grind of everyday life.

Hey Daniel!

I just randomly decided to check your site today and saw that you are publishing a book! How awesome is that!!!
Several years in grad school together and I never knew that you are such a good writer. Loved the teaser…look forward to getting the book…

Yes, he is my brother. We usually go up there sometime during the first 2 weeks of June. We also like to go up to Mt. Baldy near Cajun Pass, Mt. San Jacinto, as well as Kearsage and Bishop Pass. Badden Powell is always our first trip of the summer obviously since it always has the least snow and the quickest to melt.

It’s cool that you own a pulaski. As for wildland firefighting, all I have to do is pass the pack test, which consists of walking 3 miles while carrying 45 pounds in 45 minutes or less. I’m sure I can pass that.

It be nice if you sent us a rough draft of that day, plus any additional pics of us that you may have took.

Hey Daniel,
I finally got around to reading your “first day” episode and really enjoyed it! I’m glad that you have begun the 2nd leg of your journey–the literary one! Best wishes and good luck!
Keep going! (At least this part can be done from within the comforts of your home)!

Tim- It’s always great to hear from you!!!! Is Jeff your brother? I didn’t know. You two were up there with Kent. When are you planning on going up there again? I am a bit envious that you’ll get to hike up there. It’s not quite so easy to get to that kind of scenery where i am. i mean, we have the ocean and some great gorgeous mountains called the Catskills- but the trees and the snow up there!

You’re a wildland firefighter, huh? that’s great. be careful out there. i actually own a vintage Pulaski tool that a 78 year old hotshot in Tennessee gave me. i actually lived in Grand Junction, near Storm King Mountain, where some firefighters got trapped in a canyon. be careful out there, tim!

You are 100% right about the length of my book- 450 is about it, not including pix. it’s as long as my hike!

Are you still subscribed to jerseyfresh.net? my posts should arrive in your email if you are….. there will be more as this goes along….

i’d be happy to send you Day 30. give me some time to do a second draft. That’s the day that i met you guys!

Hi Indie. It’s me, Tim from Badden Powell. I arbitrary decided to come to your site today and discovered that you have two new posts. I see that you’re on day 34 of your book. That means you’re done writing about the day you got to meet my friend and my brother and I. The three of us have gone up there together every year since 2005 (Kent has been going up there since high school). If wildland firefighting doesn’t interfere this year, I hope to go up there again in early June.

At the rate you’re going, you’ll probably write as many as 450 pages for your book, assuming it doesn’t have any pictures.
