"Wrangell is often referred to as the Park without handrails."

\\xa0

Brendon Seaholser was such an interesting interview because of his honest and blunt demeanor, as well as his love of the park and adventures of all kind.\\xa0

\\xa0

During this interview, we talk about what brought him to Wrangell St. Elias, one of the month desolate and isolated parks in the country, a story which starts in Vermont, and winds through many continents.

We also talk about how unbelievably vast the Park is, and the possible consequences of going into this wilderness unprepared.\\xa0

\\xa0

You\\u2019ll hear him talk about the stories of going into the wild, about the dangers he\\u2019s witnessed, and the magic too, the unreal beauty of the largest Park in the country, and one of the largest pieces of wilderness in the world.\\xa0

\\xa0

One of my favorite things about this interview is the awe that you can hear in Brendon\\u2019s voice as he talks about the Park and especially, the mountains.\\xa0

You can hear how much love and respect he has for this place, and it made me feel it too.\\xa0

\\xa0

When I walked out of the tiny one room visitor\\u2019s center where I\\u2019d met him, I felt a chill of excitement to be in such an incredible place. I felt so grateful to be witness to this Park that had created such awe in this man I\\u2019d had the pleasure of meeting.\\xa0

It gave me a new way of looking at, and respecting, this unfamiliar place.\\xa0

\\xa0

As you hear me mention in the interview, earlier that day, I\\u2019d had a few hiccups on the main road, namely ending up in a ditch, being towed out by strangers, then later having a flat tire, which I describe at the end of the interview.

At the time, I\\u2019d questioned why I was even there, in the middle of this wild and overwhelming place, until this interview that made me so incredibly aware of how fortunate I was to be there and how precious this Park really is.\\xa0

\\xa0

I really can\\u2019t wait to share this one with you!
