Off The Map


 

The first book, Off The Map: Fifty-five Weeks Adventuring in the Great American Wilderness and Beyond, recounts a trio of summers spent along the rougher and more precarious edges of our country's natural splendor.  Within these stories, the author engages in ill-advised confrontations with the bears of Montana's Bob Marshall Wilderness, the mosquitoes of Yellowstone, and the voracious marmots of the San Juan Mountains.  Driven by an unhealthy obsession with cliffs and mountaintops, Bryan ventures into such serene and surreal landscapes as the redrock ravines of Utah, the abandoned gold mines of Colorado, the icefields of Iceland, and the lightning-scarred summits of the Southern Rockies.

If you enjoy tales of haunted hotels and hot springs, hypothermia and heat exhaustion, as well as snapshots of the most scenic locations this continent has to offer, Off The Map will satisfy your inquisitive and adventurous spirit.

Further Off The Map


 

The second volume, Further Off The Map: Fifty-Three Tales of Adventure Along the Rougher Edges of American Wilderness, is a chronicle of outdoor ambition, flawed plans and narrow escapes.

Further Off The Map invites you on a journey into the wild and inhospitable reaches of our continent in search of natural wonders both breathtaking and obscure.  Join the author as he faces off against rattlesnakes, lightning bolts, dust storms and his own better judgment in the course of fifty-three misguided adventures – tales that span from the colossal volcanic peaks of the Pacific Northwest to the moonlit depths of the Grand Canyon.

With detours into the pyrotechnic metropolis of Burning Man and the hippie utopia of the Rainbow Gathering, this book celebrates the unique qualities of the American West, punctuated with humor, insight, and the risk of severe bodily injury.
