It’s always a bit surreal when the heli flies off and leaves you
alone on top of a mountain surrounded by thousands of acres of
untracked wilderness. It’s a real trip though, when you’re sharing
it all with GLEN PLAKE!!!
As we click in, my childhood hero gives me a nudge with his
elbow and says, “Man looks to the stars. Since his beginnings,
he has reshaped and redefined his environment, and what is…
is no longer enough. He probes what might be. Man reaches for
the stars. And as man explores the edge of the impossible, he
crosses a threshold… to the outer limits.”
WTF? The roof of my mind flies off. What does this mean? Is
Glen Plake trying to showme some deeper meaning to the
mountains that I’ve missed over the past 30 years? What is my
purpose here?
