Leather Tramping

I'm getting lost in the wild of Minnesota. I'll be traveling on my own two feet with nothing but the supplies on my back, a canoe, and two other souls. This is the closest I'll get to experiencing what it's like to be a leather tramp. I'll be MIA for about a week. So until then, I leave you with this famous quote from Christopher McCandless.

"Two years he walks the earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. Escaped from Atlanta. Thou shalt not return, 'cause "the West is the best." And now after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual pilgrimage. Ten days and nights of freight trains and hitchhiking bring him to the Great White North. No longer to be poisoned by civilization he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild."
