A Trail Worth Remembering
Some trails stay with us long after we've walked them. It isn't always because they're the most beautiful or the most challenging. Sometimes it's because they quietly become part of our story. Here's why that idea became an important part of Journeys Of The Crew.

Every Rusty Pickett journal begins with a blank space on its cover. The journal number is known. The date is known. The title isn't. Some things can only be named after the journey is over.
