Patrick Taylor is an adventurer, author, & world traveler. In his late 50s, he solo'ed Lewis & Clark's route across the Rocky Mountains in winter & his published journal became a Kindle #1 Bestseller in four catergories (Adventure Travel, Solo Travel, Mountaineering, & Extreme Sports). It was the first book of the 'Real-life Adventures of the Texas Yeti'; a unique collection of non-fiction adventures blazing 11 Kindle #1 Bestsellers across 6 Amazon categories... every book spending time as #1 Bestseller in Solo Travel. Each of his off-beat adventures is unique; the antipode of Walter Mitty, Taylor actually lives the lives he imagines.

I don't worry too much about "getting it right' the first time; instead, I watch the words on the screen & follow the story. (less)

Quotes by Patrick Taylor  (?)

“I remember being amused at how easily I could adjust to such a dramatic change in physical environment and lifestyle, yet struggle sorely with relatively simple problems back home.”
Patrick Taylor, Lost on Purpose: Adventures of a 21st Century Mountain Man

“No matter what I read or how much I contemplate, God is beyond my comprehension,” I said. “I catch little glimpses; I recognize the truth when I see it, when I feel it in something I read. It’s like remembering something I already know… and there’s a lot of it in that book.”
Patrick Taylor, Lost & Found: Navigating New Lives & Love

“realized a new definition of the word ‘free’ and a feeling like liberation washed over me. Without realizing it, I had completed one of the hardest parts of the trek before I even left town. I sold all my material possessions to buy the freedom I needed to follow adventure wherever it might take me.”
Patrick Taylor, Lost on Purpose: Adventures of a 21st Century Mountain Man
