It’s a fine line that separates an adventure from an epic, and the most innocent decisions can tip the delicate balance, knock you off your perfect line, and unravel the beautifully woven fabric of careful planning and glorious spontaneity that create the perfect trip. Preparation is key when it comes to preventing small mistakes from becoming large problems. On this trip, our preparation is sorely lacking for heavy jacking. It’s time to hike out.
