turns out my biggest unsolved mystery was solved. almost two years ago. and i didn't even know it. damn it. this is like being 24 years old and finding out that the person who raised you had lived an entire secret life before you were born. and everyone around you kept it a secret from you. it feels weird. i don't like it.
what it boils down to. at the hands of my best friend jaymee i learned that the everett ruess mystery was solved in 2008 by a professor in california. to make a long story longer. his grave was stumbled upon. found by decendants of the navajo who had hastily buried him after watching some rival indians do him in. after a lot of research. and with the miracle of modern technology. it was positively concluded that the body found in the crevice grave was that of everett ruess.
it was a long article. 12 pages. but in case you'd like to read it for yourself. do it here. it's interesting. it doesn't give me any less of a desire to adventure. to pack up and hit the road. to see the world. i guess these days the dangers are just different. no indians. but i'm sure there's something else out there. one thing i know for sure is that there is beauty out there. lots of it.
