Rembert's America: Discovering the Wonders of the Contiguous 48 States

“It’s a simple philosophy that two friends and I invented during the summer of 2008. Newly 21, vaguely employed, and anticipating three thrilling months of independence, we established one rule for the summer: Say yes. To everything. While not perfect, and certainly not always carried out, even having the inclination to always be willing to try something was enough.” Follow the adventure on Tumblr here.

Ever witness someone online and think about how awesome it would be to friends with that person? For me, Kyle Dempster is one of those people.

In 2009, my Texas 4000 for Cancer teammates and I rode our bicycles along Dease Lake Highway 37 through Iskut, near the Sacred Headwaters.
