We have experienced another hard week of gun violence in America. For me, it has been a week of intense emotions – heavy emotions as well as joy and hope. How do we escape the doom loop? How do we stop partaking when it is dished up to us from all sides of the media and culture that we swim in?

Time for the trek!
May 18 2025
This morning we’re heading out for a week of trekking in the inner Himalaya. We’ll be experiencing a bit of life in mountain villages, and trekking from temperate forests into sub-alpine and even alpine ecosystems. Our elevation will range from about 7000′ to 12 500′. There will be class sessions in high mountain pastures, and adventures learning to use ‘cat-hole’ latrines. All in all, it should prove to be an unforgettable experience. We’ll report back with pictures and some stories when we return on Sunday the 18th.
As a special challenge, a number of the guys went with fresh mustaches for the trek, even those of us who’ve had beards for 20+ years!
