When his business and personal life unraveled, a 58-year old tech exec and former President of Intel's Board of Advisors decided to get lost on purpose. Instead of escaping into drink or drugs, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery and attempted a solo trek across the Rocky Mountains. In this true adventure story, the author endeavored to reinvent himself with a most dramatic and unusual course of action. Intrigued by the history of Lewis & Clark, the former Marine decided to retrace their historic route through the rugged and remote mountains of Idaho... alone. A capable alpinist, the amateur adventurer had no sponsorship or experience with anything as extreme as the solo backpacking trip he envisioned. He made plans to navigate the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness to the Lolo Trail, and had to concoct a diet so lean that he could carry enough food in a backpack to last a month until he could reprovision. Taylor was so far off the grid alone that even a relatively minor injury could prove fatal. Moreover, he decided to trek in late fall/early winter. One reviewer says, "I have read multiple books on journeys similar to this, but they never got into the heart and soul of the journeyman. This book addresses not only the struggles with the environment but also with the mind. I'd follow Taylor on any adventure he chooses to write about." This unique adventure memoir is exciting, insightful, and entertaining... and can be finished in a weekend. Order it now and share the adventures of a 21st century mountain man.
