Thu, 25 June 2009  The Summer break is coming up in August and I will be out gathering stories. We’ve got some cool stories already planned for next fall, but there were a couple of ideas I wanted to work on and I’m hoping to get people’s input. So if you’ve got an idea or a story that fits within these concepts, let me know by dropping us an email. The Dirtbag Diaries is driven by listener input. Your thoughts matter. 1. Partners – I’m hoping to compile a story about partnerships. We rely on our closest friends and our significant others to motivate for adventures and endure epics. Those shared experiences can result in some funny and serious moments. If you’ve got a story about a favorite climbing partner or a story you’ve heard, it would be great to here about them. 2. The Economy – I’m curious. How has the economic downturn impacted the Dirtbag Nation? In difficult economic times have the mountains and rivers become more important or something that you can’t afford. For most of us, wilderness has always provided us a viewpoint on which to reflect on our lives. The natural world can provide important perspective on life in the flatlands. Has the economy impacted you directly? Let me know. I know we are all looking for escape, but sometimes it’s worth covering important topics from our perspective. After all, who else out there is going to do it? Category: general -- posted at: 1:12 PM Comments[1] |
Firstly, i love the eloquence/irreverence/intrigue and utter love for the PNW, nature and adventure expressed on your show. I was wondering if you have thought of doing a piece on salmon and the horrific impact a proposed mine called Pebble Mine near the Bristol Bay would have on the last pristine salmon fishery in the world, the inhabitants of the Bay and all the organisms that depend on this clean water? I worked there for four summers and it was there I found a new understanding of myself and my place in the world. Days spent covered in fish guts and driving a fork lift in flip flops or doing cartwheels in spongy tundra helped me see how one aquatic animal impacts the lives of thousands of 'dirtbags' from all over the world.
