As we move along we hope to have a few more guys and girls join the trip. The starting roster is a sick crew of guys that I (Jonathan) am stoked to travel with:
Jeremiah Miller- The Token Asian
He is gonna kill me just for using this picture that makes him look so Asian. It was actually from an African wedding we attended.
Jeremiah is the silent but deadly killer. He always has your back and willing to get into most things even when it really might scare him to death. (Ie. He and I bungee jumping over the Nile river was something he swore he would never do). I lived with him in Africa in the Slums for 4 months, mind you this was his first time ever out of the country. Good intro to hardcore.
Kelly Lund
Kelly is the rescuer. If you are ever stuck beneath an elephant or being chased by molten lava, or just run out of gas, Kelly is the guy you think of to bail you out. Shredding in Colorado for the past few yrs while knocking out his degree, he also lead a gang of backpacking trips, built ropes courses, and got medically trained for the wilderness. Kelly charges hard while still being able to be a voice of reason (something I often need). One of my best friend for many yrs.
Clint Walder
I met Clint briefly while skiing in CO. He is one of Kelly Lunds best friends from school which that alone says he is hardcore. He grew up in SoCal surfing and spear fishing so he will be providing the expertise on the procuring of our water bound food.
Jonathan Jenkins
Always on the quest for adventure, this is the next epic to be recorded. Growing up on the Outer Banks, the islands off NC, Im stoked to be going on the classic surf trip, blown up beyond proportion. After spending the first four months of the year in the slums in Africa, then working 100 hours a week on the Outer Banks to save money, Im ready to take off and explore down south.
We will update with others as they come along...
That description of Kelly is the truest thing that has ever been stated.
ReplyDeleteSoooo excited for you guys.
Oh i love you guys!!! This is so wonderfully fascinating. The glories of the unmarried life! I can't wait to live vicariously through you guys while I'm sitting in my apartment with a little boy who I hope grows up to be as great as you two (i'm sure the other ones i don't know as well).
