I would like to start the adventure by introducing everyone.
Duke - the leader of the pack, lives in Seattle, has had this trip on his mind for some time now and made the whole thing happen
Rob - Duke's elder brother, ultralight, giggles a lot, answers questions like there is such a thing as a stupid question and you just asked him one
Richie - Duke's childhood friend from scouts, consultant to National Athletic teams for the Nation of Bahrain so he know what being in shape means
George - A jean-shorts-clad friend of Richie's in New Mexico, most recent conquest was a 31 day fitness boot camp immersion experiment that lasted 31 days
Matt - Duke's son, the guy who invited me along,
Graham - Duke's future son-in-law, patient and knowledgeable, fresh from a bike-car accident that had him in the hospital less than a week before (shoulder)
Josh - Graham's friend from childhood, unfortunate recipient of guff from the older guys
me - Matt's friend from grad school in Atlanta, Pacific NW first-timer and Canadian impersonator
I am planning to add posts detailing each day of the journey but wanted to put up a link to the pictures that many of you have asked about.

Graham and I are cracking up about this description of Rob!! Hilarious.
When we started, 4 of us were under 31 and 4 of us were over 61.
We learned from each other. And learned to appreciate each other.
We all matured uniquely as men, together.
My sweetest moment was surrendering to the care and accepting the service of Matt, Graham, Josh, and Vargo as they bushwhacked me to the helicopter.
