Welcome to my new blog! Many of you know that we have been offering a free email newsletter for several years. This has been great for telling about bigger adventures and projects. However, the format was not conducive to brief updates about shorter trips, upcoming talks, and noteworthy news from friends and the non-profit organizations that I support.
Starting this week, we will offer all of this material and more on my new blog. You can check it out as you peruse my web site or subscribe via an RSS newsfeed to stay up to date. I will also use Facebook and Twitter to notify friends and followers of new blog posts. Please leave comments and suggest future topics.
We will continue to offer the email newsletter for those who prefer that format. These will be published when there are bigger stories to tell.
Dear Erik:
I’m watching a documentary program about you, your friends, and 6 Braille Without Borders students climbing. It is so inspiring!
I made a small donation and I hope it will help somehow.
Rock On Erik!
With Much Affection,

Hey Eric, I like the new formats. Little Eric really enjoyed summiting the Iztacchuati Volcano in Mexico with you. Hope you make it back to Arkansas sometimes. Our kids still talk about the Mt. Magazine hike and climb with you. I know you’ve heard it many times but you really are an inspiration to us all. Say hello to Winnie for us.

Hi Erik. I heard you speak yesterday at the USAT conference, and was simply blown away. To say I am inspired by your message of alchemy, hope, and a pioneering spirit, and ALL that you represent is an understatement. Thank you SO much for coming and sharing yourself with all of us. Thank you for the work you do, each and every day. I wish you all the best of luck in your continuing work to keep spreading this message of hope! Keep it up! God bless you and yours! – Al
