MOUNTAIN OF STORMS

In 1968 I was in the 5th grade and climbing the black soiled hills of Iowa …. but In the Summer of 1968 Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins founder of Northface rounded up a some friends and a Volkswagon bus. The embarked on an epic 6 month road journey from San Francisco to the Chilean Patagonia, surfing, skiing and hiking along the way. Mountain of Storms is the testament. Nice to know the company’s founders are the real deal. Years later most anyone who loves the outdoors is grateful for their gear.

– Great film.

Had a great discussion and conversation with founder Peter Illyn from http://restoringeden.org/ today in Sedona.

*Civic engagement and public advocacy
Mission:: Restoring Eden’s mission is to make hearts bigger, hands dirtier, and voices stronger by rediscovering the biblical call to love, serve, and protect God’s creation.
Description:: Restoring Eden is a movement of like-minded people who see a strong connection between our Christian spirituality and our role as caretakers of creation.
Company Overview:: Christians for Environmental Stewardship; I think this ship will be going place in the coming season aheadd….really looking forward to partnering with tis visionary.; Steve; psalm 104:24
