      Hey Darwin, are the following episodes, that is , Episodes seven and following posted somewhere else, or have they just not been edited the way you want? Knowing that you have an awful lot of different content/projects you are working on. I'm always mesmerized as to the volume of work you long haulers put into recording and sharing your experiences. Thanks for sharing your lovely blogs.

    That area of the WInds is the site of my very first backpacking trip 50 years ago. Due to work, family, other trips, etc, I haven't been back but now I have plans to repeat that hike this summer - starting from Pinedale, my fourth night should be at Peak Lake and I will keep an eye out for your sunglasses! Fantastic area.

    Darwin you just reconfirmed my ages-old decision to always keep a retaining cord on my sunglasses at all times. Somehow I manage to keep a pair of sunnies for up to two years (or more) and I typically only replace them when they're scratched to hell or I find some way to sit on them. But never lost a single pair since I started using the cord! 10/10 recommended.
    Sorry for your loss.

    Hey Darwin! Happy belated birthday! Bummer about your sunglasses, I did the same thing as a teen jumping into a swimming hole in Yosemite. I got lucky and found them after an hour of looking, but I for sure was freaking out for a bit!
    I have to say, these videos really are a gift. More than usual, this hike really feels like it’s your personal hike and us viewers are just a bunch of lucky friends that you are sharing your adventure with. It is such an amazing treat. 🙏 Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well.
