The Last Frontier Podcast

The Hopeless Trip


Listen Later

Hillary and Norgay the first to summit Everest, Lewis and Clark venturing out into the wild, wild west, Armstrong and Aldrin taking that giant leap on the moon...there's something inspirational about imagining yourself in the shoes of the great adventurers of a past time. As the world gets smaller, large scale expeditions are harder to find, but Alaska is still ripe for them. On today's episode, friends of the pod Russ and Sid discuss their recent expedition paddling around the Kenai Peninsula from Homer to Seward exposing themselves to the open Gulf of Alaska, heavy winds and large seas and a vast stretch of this world still untouched by civilization.
