A WWF helicopter crash in the far-eastern region of Nepal near Taplejung killed all 24 people on-board.
Tragic Helicopter Crash in Nepal
Among the victims of the accident was my friend and mentor this past summer, Dr. Harka Gurung, one of the most prominent scholars in Nepal.
This has been a terrible year for accidents. My prayers are with the family members and friends of all those affected by this tragedy.
Rest in peace, fellow adventurers.
Let the world change you... and you can change the world.

Where am I?
July 12 - in Los Angeles. Farewell, S America.... hasta la proxima.
June 23 - learning to be civilized in cosmopolitan Buenos Aires... cutlery, manners, and a second change of clothing is back into my life.
June 4 - hitchhiking to Buenos Aires... thumb status: almost, but not quite, frostbitten.
May 31 - in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego.
May 21 - making deals with the devil to cross the Straits of Magellan into Tierra del Fuego.
May 16 - Inching against the wind towards the end of the South American mainland.
May 14 - recuperating from a cold in Los Glaciares, Patagonia...
May 3 - Riding the Ruta 40 Sur. Please refrain from heavy breathing or steamy activities... experts say it is a key factor in forming crosswinds down here.
April 26 - Coyhaique, Carretera Austral.
April 15 - Cycling back in time across the ancient forests of Los Alerces Natl Park.
April 5 - defrosting fingers and welcoming the winter in Bariloche, Argentina (and yes... the storm is still raging!).
March 30 - well rested and waiting for a trailer tire in Temuco.
March 18 - in Valparaiso, cruising down the Pacific Coast of Chile.... the air feels thick at sea-level!
March 11 - reunited with Seth and Kirsten in Santiago de Chile, endless stories and Chilean vinos shared!

March 4 - purple lipped from the finest wines, dancing with the most beautiful women on earth, and rocking out to Manu Chao at the local football field in Mendoza, Argentina. Pura Vida!
