For all its ups and downs... for all the heartache and rejoicing... I am humbled to be able to craft a career of adventure, academic rigour, and personal passion. Working on academic topics this morning, and diving into another Adventure-Based epic this afternoon. I don't go with the flow. I charge ahead, utilizing the energy of the current to propel me forward. Sometimes that means I've got to back up to find a good eddy, or to charge back against the current, using a massive amount of energy; but I've done this long enough that I am far more adept at reading the current and finding the fast water. Here's to fast water, clear channels, and calm winds. ° Featuring #fiascolily #lilybug #lucettesophia #sprucylucy #palmergirls ° Sometimes you've got to change everything, and so I took charge of my career by going rogue. ° https://backcountryprofessor.mykajabi.com/ ° #persistence #patience #drive #determination #work #lastfrontiermagazine #aklife #adventure #neverstopexploring #liveyouradventure #wilderness #thealaskalife #outdoors #palmersprogress #heralaskalife #fiascofamily @nrsweb #wetsuit #river #swiftwater #whitewater

Spent some time visiting old friends before we left Dawson City, the two guys most directly responsible for my northern wanderings... Jack and Robert. ° ° #robertservice #jacklondon #poetry #poet #goldrush #yukon #klondike #alaska #canada #storyteller #northcountry #yukonriver #sammcgee #dangerousdanmcgrew #whitefang #thecallofthewild #north #wilderness #history #wild #frontier #lastfrontiermagazine

I guess we were a bit surprised with our finishing time... despite incredibly low/slow water, we made it to Dawson City 6 hours faster than last year, and we're quite excited about YRQ 2020 already. We know we can be faster, smarter, and better prepared. We placed 48th overall, better than 66th the previous year. 60 hours, 45 minutes. ° ° Featuring @nordic_liam @palmers.progress ° ° #marathonpaddler #marathonpaddling #yukoner #yukonriverquest #yrq2019 #yukonriver #yukon #cbcyukon #paddlingmagazine #acapaddlesports #h2opaddlesports #bendingbranches #voltaicsystems #palmersprogress #wilderness #turtlefur #wintergreen #neverstopexploring #liveyouradventure #wenonah #fathersandsons #ultra #canoe @yukonriverquestmedia @yukonriverquest

And then... as quickly as it started, we were finished. Finished with 444 miles of wilderness marathon paddling, racing our second Yukon River Quest, the longest annual paddling race in the WORLD! We got showers, clean clothes, and tucked into some kale and cold chicken before we went back to the finish to welcome in the remaining finishers. ° ° Featuring @nordic_liam ° ° #marathonpaddler #marathonpaddling #yukoner #yukonriverquest #yrq2019 #yukonriver #yukon #cbcyukon #paddlingmagazine #acapaddlesports #h2opaddlesports #bendingbranches #voltaicsystems #palmersprogress #wilderness #turtlefur #wintergreen #neverstopexploring #liveyouradventure #wenonah #fathersandsons #ultra #canoe @yukonriverquestmedia @yukonriverquest
