Follow me throughout the summer as I attempt to hike from Mexico to Canada over the course of 4 1/2 months for the benefit of the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Since I'll be in the wilderness for much of the time, I may not be able to update it as much as I would like, so be sure to check in even if you don't see updates.

Wildfire-Charred Tree
No real significance to this tree except that it is a snapshot of what we were dealing with on our 14-mile-long climb that saw us gain 5000'. No shade for the first 2500' due to desert conditions. Then minimal shade for the next 1500' because of the wildfire. I liked this tree because (minus the charred part) it kind of reminded me of the White Tree of Gondor in Lord of the Rings.
