 Chris Hedges Is in the MountainsPosted on Jun 20, 2010Chris Hedges, whose column normally appears in this space, is currently trekking through the White Mountains with his son Thomas, Truthdig Publisher Zuade Kaufman and a band of Truthdig readers. His column will return when he does. For information on future Truthdig events, contact us or sign up for our newsletter.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread. Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities.

This Friday, June 25, will be my 66th birthday. I wish I could have afforded the trip. I’m in shape for it, but the $$$ made it prohibitive. As a long-time reader and admirer of Chris’s thoughts and writings, and appreciative of Ms Kaufmann’s efforts at TD, I can’t imagine a better way to spend my spillover day than being in the White Mountains and experiencing Mt Washington (hopefully not in the way my sister did a few years ago, with a balmy day at the base and a life-threatening blizzard at the summit). Anyway, wish I was there. Maybe next year?

Another preacher went up to the mountaintop and saw the Promised Land. Chris, we need a vision down here!

I missed Hedges blog this morning! What a disappointment, no Hedges to set my Monday morning attitude for the week.
If he is gone another week, my stupid optimism might return.

This decidedly working class woman will be joining Chris and Thomas tomorrow. I had to save and budget carefully in order to make it including canceling my in-home internet and collecting returnable bottles and cans but I consider it worth it to be on a hike with a certified mountain guide in the beautiful White Mountains, staying in AMC huts and enjoying what promises to be very provocative discussions with a group of exceptionally intelligent, interesting people.

I wonder how many of Chris’s working class buddies will join him on the 2100
dollar trip.
If you went on this trip what would you even ask him?

Well, I’m jealous of those that are on the trip for the mountain vistas and the company. Just have to do without my “fix” this week. Happy travels.
