Earlier this week we introduced you to Chris Rabe, who had just embarked on a 4-month journey along the the Appalachian Trail. Such a trip requires a commitment of time and energy (including Chunks of Energy!)...and a solid intention. I can't imagine that anyone simply 'ends up' on the trail, although I would be interested in being proven wrong!
So what drives a hiker? What encourages someone to join the 9000 others who have completed the trail? What motivation was behind this decision to just go?
For Chris, it was the beauty of the views, and the chance to connect to them. In September 2010, National Geographic aired a documentary on the Appalachian Trail, which you can still watch. Rather just admiring them from the comfort of his home, he decided that this was worth spending time, money, and excitement on. High-definition television pales in comparison to a the natural high you get from the peak of a mountain...
I leave you with these words from Chris: "Everything else can be taken away from us except our experiences." I agree! You?
Appalachian Trail- Part 1 of ?
One of our favorite things about Chunks of Energy is how they power people to do awesome things. So, we were very happy when Chris Rabe (pictured) told us about his plan to hike the Appalachian Trail, powered in part by Chunks of Energy!
He will leave Springer Mountain, Georgia today, and will be on the trail for the next 145 days (that's until November 16). His send off party will include 2 people, 2 dogs, and anticipation of 2181 miles ahead of him. I wonder how many steps that is...
He was kind enough to share with me what brought him to this day, and I want to share it with you. Stay tuned for his inspirations, insight, and the insides of his backpack.
Raw Organic Cacao Goji
Here's a highlight from the Vegan Vagrant review. "These were by far my favorite of the 3 samples, but I'm also a Stage 5 chocolate addict. They are sweetened with dates and anyone who knows me knows that I cannot get enough of any raw chocolate and sweetener combo. These chunks were moist, hearty, rich and oh so delicious, almost brownie-like. I felt the power of raw chocolate fill my body shortly after consuming them and instead of weighing me down like most desserts do, these chunks soon had me in the gym working out with energy to spare. The Raw Cacao chunks have my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION."
Thanks!
