Festivals and more
On the road in Canada! It’s been a wonderful whirlwind of a trip so far. The Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival is an inspiring gathering of writers, filmmakers, and adventurers in a spectacular setting. I was thrilled to receive the Adventure Travel book award and also had the honor of speaking to a full house in a venue shared with quite a lineup—Mark Synnott, Corey Rich, Craig Childs, Frank Wolf, Mark Twight and more. Best of all, Pat joined me for the week (thanks, Grandma Jo!). I’m headed next to Toronto for a panel at the Toronto International Festival of Authors with Kate Harris and others on Nov 3rd and an evening presentation at Patagonia on Nov 4th (free food and drink!). For anyone in Toronto, I’d love to see you there (event details below).

**I’ll be back in Anchorage for upcoming events at the Anchorage Museum’s Wilderness Week Nov 7-8th. More details soon!
On stage to receive my award. What a surreal experience!
Look who I bumped into by the elevators!
Meanwhile, back at home…the trick-or-treaters ready for work. Pat’s mastery with cardboard is impressive!
