Alaska Mountain Wilderness Classic, 130 miles, 4 days
Josh Mumm and I were shocked to finish first at the Lakina Bridge. I had calculated that Tyler Johnson, Todd Kasteler, and Danny Powers, the guys on the Tebay route, would be a full 24 hours ahead of us.

Oral Histories of the Homeless: Melody
At Bean's Café the project of creating 'oral histories' for our clients - the poorest people in our community - is important because it captures a story of an often forgotten group of people.
