Lost on Purpose

A former technology executive took leave of the real world to reinvent himself as a twenty-first-century mountain man. In October-November 2013, Patrick Taylor crossed the Rocky Mountains alone on foot. He passed through one of the largest wilderness areas in the lower forty-eight to reach and retrace the route of Lewis and Clark in the winter. The sacrifices, vocationally, financially, and emotionally, are measured against the benefits by the author in a refreshingly honest, humorous, and inspirational fashion.
