Male, 75 (born August 1949) with the health, physical fitness, and desire to do just what I’m doing now. An avid runner and cyclist since 2003, with outrigger canoe paddling added in 2008. Background in forestry including eleven summers in fire suppression, five years of pine beetle management, and fifteen years of self-employment doing GPS traversing for forest licensees. Very self-reliant.
Ron – what an incredible adventure you are having. It’s inspiring to read your travelogue, it takes guts, determination and more than a little “self reliance” to attempt what you are doing. I look forward to your next update. Bill Stephens

We had the pleasure of meeting and talking with you last night while at the 108 Mile Heritage park and fascinated by your redefining retirement on your terms Super fit and resourceful, I know we were very interested in your use of technology to “fuel” your travel comfort and ability. Wow. We thought we were being a bit adventurous in our full-timer RV lifestyle. lol. People are so interesting. You inspire.
