In 2007 I became the first person to yo-yo the Continental
Divide Trail (CDT). That means I did a roundtrip, starting at
the Mexican border, hiking to Canada, and back. It hadn't been
done before because there never was anyone who was stupid enough
to want to do it. I'm glad to be that guy.  I've left the rest
of this page in its pre-hike state. I wrote this page before I
started the hike. It explains my hiking philosophy, motivation,
and goals behind the hike.  Four minute video summing up the CDT
