LITTLE DID I KNOW THE IMPACT AND INFLUENCE THAT NITE WOULD HAVE ON ME OVER THE YEARS. ALL THESE YEARS LATER I AM STILL PUSHING START BUTTONS. UPON RETURNING HOME TO THE UNITED STATES IN EARLY 1997, I BOUGHT MY FIRST RECORD PLAYER AND MY FIRST RECORD. COSMIC GATE’S NEW SINGLE: THE DRUMS. IN LATE 1999, I STARTED REDPLANET. MY BUSINESS PARTNER AND I HAD A DREAM AND WE FOUNDED A COMPANY THAT WAS ALL ABOUT ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC AND THE LIFE STYLE THAT IT BROUGHT. IN THOSE EARLY DAYS OF REDPLANET, I BEGAN TO GET CLOSE TO AND BECAME FRIENDS WITH A FEW GLOBAL SUPERSTAR DJ’S AND PRODUCERS. THIS ASPECT OF REDPLANET WAS PIVOTAL IN PUTTING US ON THE MAP IN A VERY QUICK AND EFFICIENT WAY. GEORGE ACOSTA - SLEEPING GIANT AND ACE DE BRAIN, AKA - ANDREAS SCHMIDT @ ACE AGE MUSIC AND VENOM RECORDS - GERMANY, WHERE TWO OF MY EARLY INFLUENCES THAT WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR QUICK AND RAPID GROWTH. I MET ACE IN MIAMI AT A GEORGE ACOSTA SHOW DURING THE WINTER MUSIC CONFERENCE. ACE WAS A UP AND COMING DJ-PRODUCER FROM GERMANY AND WAS DOING WORK WITH GEORGE. I KEPT IN TOUCH WITH ACE AND HE PROVIDED GUIDANCE ON SOME EARLY INTRO PRODUCTIONS AND OVERALL ENCOURAGEMENT AND MENTORSHIP. TO THIS DAY HIS STYLE AND SOUND DRIVES MUCH OF WHAT I DO WITH MY MUSIC. GEORGE ACOSTA WAS AN ESTABLISHED TRANCE DJ FROM MIAMI FLORIDA. I BECAME CLOSE WITH GEORGE, AS HE USED DC AS ONE OF HIS FAVORITE CLUBS TO PLAY. I DIDN’T MISS A SHOW AND SLOWLY WE BECAME FRIENDS, MOSTLY BECAUSE I WOULDN’T LEAVE HIM ALONE. OVER THOSE FIRST FEW YEARS WE BECAME CLOSE FAMILY FRIENDS AND HE ALLOWED ME TO LEARN UNDER HIM AND PROVIDED MENTORSHIP WITH MYSELF AND OTHER YOUNG REDPLANET DJ’S. TO THIS DAY GEORGE ACOSTA AND ACE ALONG WITH ALL THE EDM/TRANCE DJ’S FROM AROUND THE WORLD, REMAIN EITHER MY FRIENDS, MY MENTORS AND OR MY INSPIRATION TO MY STYLE AND SOUND. NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED OVER THE YEARS. I STILL RIP HARD TRANCE/TECHNO AND AS LONG AS REDPLANET IS REDPLANET, MY SOUND WILL REMAIN THE SAME.

GOING TO LIVE MY LIFE. I WANTED, ACTUALLY, I NEEDED A COMPLETE CHANGE. I WASN’T HAPPY IN ANY ASPECT OF MY LIFE. THE PATH THAT I WAS ON WAS BROKE. THE WORLD THAT I LIVED IN WAS INCREDIBLY SCARY, LONELY AND I HAD NO IDEA HOW TO MAKE IT OUT. THEN ONE DAY AN INCREDIBLE CHANGE OCCURED IN MY LIFE. IT TOOK PLACE IN A MOMENTS NOTICE AND IT WAS UNEXPECTED AND DEVASTATING. IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN ABANDONED BY YOUR LOVED ONES, YOU KNOW HOW I FELT AND WHERE I WAS AT WITH MY MENTAL HEALTH. HOWEVER, IT WAS A PATH AND AS IT TURNED OUT, ENDED UP BEING ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE GIFTS EVER GIVEN TO ME. I COULD BREATHE AGAIN. I DIDN’T KNOW IT AT THE TIME BUT RED.NOMAD HAD BEEN BORN. MY MINIMALISTIC AND NOMADIC LIFE TOOK SHAPE AND BEGAN TO GROW IN COMPLEXITY. I LOVED IT. ALL OF IT, EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT LIFESTYLE WAS AMAZING. 10 YEARS LATER, I'M STILL LIVING OUT ON THE ROAD. MY RULES, MY WAY. RECENTLY, MY GRANDDAUGHTER, HARPER, SAID TO ME. "BOOGER FACE, YOU LIVE NOWHERE, YET EVERYWHERE, RIGHT" IT WAS A VERY ACCURATE AND ACUTE STATEMENT MADE BY A 3 YEAR OLD. I AGREE WITH HER AND IT'S A GREAT WAY TO DESCRIBE WHERE MY ZIP CODE IS LOCATED. "ALL THE PLACES, USA" I LOVE MY LIFE STYLE AND IT OFFERS MANY POSITIVE ASPECTS TO MY LIFE. I NEVER THOUGHT WHEN I SET OUT ON THIS ADVENTURE THAT I WOULD TAKE TO IT LIKE I HAVE. HOWEVER, ON THE FLIPSIDE, I SHOULDN'T BE REAL SURPRISED. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ONE TO SHY AWAY FROM AN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION AND ALL THIS IS PRETTY STANDARD IN MY OVER ALL LIFE STORY AND APPROACH TO MY LIFE. MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ASK ME ALL THE TIME. WHY DO YOU THIS AND ISN’T HARD? MY ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS AS FOLLOWS. “LOOK, THERE IS FINE LINE BETWEEN BEING HOMELESS AND CHOOSING TO LIVE THIS LIFESTYLE, I CHOSE TO LIVE THIS WAY” AND THIS IS THE REASON WHY! I’M SURE THAT AT NO POINT IN THE REMAINING YEARS OF MY LIFE, WILL I GET TO EXPERIENCE THE PEACE OF MIND AND FREEDOM THAT I LIVE DAY IN AND DAY OUT. LIVING A MINIMALISTIC AND NOMADIC WAY OF LIFE OFFERS GREAT FLEXIBILITY IN MY LIFE STYLE. I CAN COME AND GO AS I PLEASE. I HAVE NO TIES TO MORTGAGE OR RENT, I'VE VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED ALL FINANCIAL RESTRAINTS THAT SOCIETY PLACES ON US. THOSE THINGS RULE MY LIFE NO MORE. THESE EXAMPLES AND MANY MORE, THAT I EXPERIENCE ALLOW ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE LIFE IN A VERY DIFFERENT AND STRESS FREE WAY.

PACIFIC CREST TRAIL - 2018 345 AM - CAMPO CALIFORNIA, PACIFIC CREST TRAIL - SOUTHERN TERMINUS - US / MEXICO BORDER IN 2 HOURS I WOULD BE TAKING MY FIRST STEPS OF THE GREATEST ADVENTURE OF MY LIFE. I HAD NO IDEA HOW I ACTUALLY GOT HERE. I WAS SCARED, ALONE AND IN NO WAY DID I THINK I WAS GONNA BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THIS IMPOSSIBLY MASSIVE TASK THAT LAY AHEAD OF ME. 535 AM - GEAR UP BY THE TIME I HAD MY 67 POUND PAC ON MY BACK AT 550AM, I HAD ALREADY BEEN RAINED ON AS THE TEMPERATURE STEADIED AT 102 DEGREES. I REMEMBER THINKING, “WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO”. I HAVEN’T EVEN TAKEN MY FIRST STEP, YET. TRY TO IMAGINE WHAT YOU MIGHT BE THINKING AT THAT EXACT POINT IN TIME. BECAUSE AFTER THAT THOUGHT YOU START TO WALK, AND THEN THIS HAPPENS. NOT 300 YARDS INTO THE HIKE, I TOOK MY FIRST TUMBLE. LITERALLY HEELS OVER HEAD DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. THE RESULT WAS A TORN OPEN BLEEDING BUSTED KNEE. NOW IM HARD. I’VE BEEN IN SITUATIONS THAT MOST GROWN MEN WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE, TRUST ME. I FOUND MYSELF, IN TEARS. RIGHT THERE, HAND AND KNEES, MY TEARS FALLING INTO DRY DUSTY SAND, WHICH I COULDN’T UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE NOT 18 MINUTES PRIOR, I GEARED UP IN A PURING DOWNFALL. I PULLED MYSELF TOGETHER, BECAUSE THAT WHAT WELDY’S DO, I WIPED THE TEARS FROM MY FACE AND CONTINUED ON. I WAS HEADED TO LAKE MORENA, APPROX 27 MILES AHEAD. AT MILE 23, YOU FACE ONE OF THE MOST VICIOUS SWITCHBACKS ON THE ENTIRE 2670 MILE HIKE. THE LEGENDARY - HOUSER SWITCHBACK. A 1.4 MILE CLIMB TO THE PLATEAU LEADING INTO LAKE MORENA. THREE QUARTER MILES INTO THE STITCHBACK, HEAT EXHAUSTION SETS IN AND I CUDDLE UP UNDER THE ONLY BUSH SUITABLE OF PROVIDING ANY SHADE ON THE ENTIRE SIDE OF THIS INCREDIBLY STUPID MOUNTAIN SIDE. I WILL NEVER FORGET THE FEELING OF MAKING IT INTO CAMP THAT NIGHT. NOTE IN MY JOURNAL. “ALREADY FEELING MORE CONFIDENT, ABOUT THINGS”. INSTANTLY, THAT THOUGHT AND ANY ELLATION AS WELL AS CONFIDENCE THAT I HAD WAS INSTANTLY SHATTERED. IN 5 HOURS AND 30 MINUTES, I HAVE TO BE GEARED UP AND BACK OUT ON THE TRAIL. ANOTHER 27 MILE DAY AWAITS. YOU NEVER GET AHEAD OF IT. THERE IS ALWAYS A NEXT IMPOSSIBLE TASK THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS. MOST OF THE TIME WITH LITTLE TO NO REST - A TRUE TO LIFE GRIND. I IMAGINE THAT WHEN MOST THRU-HIKERS LAY DOWN AND CLOSE THEIR EYES THAT FIRST NIGHT THAT THIS EXACT THOUGHT IN SOME FORM OR THE OTHER GOES THROUGH THEIR HEADS. “WTF” AND “ONLY 2643 MILES TO GO”! I KNOW THAT WAS THE LAST THING I REMEMBER BEFORE I WAS FAST ASLEEP. THAT 1ST DAY IS PRETTY MUCH AS ACCURATE OF A DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THE NEXT 5 MONTHS OF MY LIFE WOULD BE LIKE. I HATED EVERY SECOND OF WHAT I WAS DOING OUT THERE. IT WAS AGONIZING. IT WAS PAINFUL. IT WAS SCARY, IT WAS LONELY, IT WAS INCREDIBLY MENTALLY CHALLENGING. I WANTED IT TO BE OVER. EVERY DAY THAT I AWOKE. THEN YOU BEGIN TO SEE THE MILES START TO FALL, YOU START TO SEE THE DAYS GO BY THE WAYSIDE. IT’S AT THAT POINT, YOU REALIZE YOU'RE DOING IT. THAT THIS ROMANTIC QUEST WE THE THRU-HIKER START TO PLAN MONTHS AND IN SOME CASES YEARS BEFORE, ITS ACTUALLY HAPPENING. I GUESS IN THOSE RARE MOMENTS YOU TAKE IN THE BEAUTY AROUND YOU. IT’S ALWAYS THERE 24-7. THIS IS THE CONSTANT. THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE ASPECT THAT DRIVES YOU IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE HIKE. THEN, LIKE ALL POSITIVE THOUGHTS THAT EACH OF US HAVE DURING ANY POINT ON THE TRAIL, THEY INSTANTLY ARE MET WITH WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS, DESPAIR. FOR YOU ARE INSTANTLY REMINDED, THAT YOU’RE TIRED AND SORE AND BROKE DOWN AND TOMORROW IS YOUR FIRST 50 MILE PUSH THRU THE HIGH DESERT OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, OR A 9K CLIMB OVER THE NEXT 12 MILES, OR A ASSENT TO 13K FEET AT FORESTER PASS. THOSE ARE THE CHALLENGES WAITING FOR YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY. THERE IS A SAYING AMONG THE LONG DISTANCE HIKING COMMUNITY. “THE TRAIL WILL PROVIDE” IT’S TOTALLY TRUE. ONE STEP TURNS INTO ANOTHER, MILES FALL AND CONFIDENCE IS GAINED. YOU CAN’T TRAIN FOR THIS TASK. MY ADVICE TO FUTURE LONG DISTANCE HIKERS. GET USED TO CARRYING A PAC ON YOUR BACK AND JUST START WALKING. THAT IN MY OPINION IS THE TRAINING ROUTINE ONE SHOULD FOLLOW. ALSO, PREPARE TO GET TO KNOW YOUR YOURSELF. MOST LIKELY YOU ARE GONNA GET TO POINT WHERE YOU REALIZE THAT THERE IS ALOT ABOUT YOURSELF THAT YOU DON’T LIKE. ITS THIS ASPECT OF THE TRAIL THAT CHANGES YOU MOST. LIFE IS VERY SIMPLE ON THE TRAIL. EAT SLEEP WALK REPEAT. OUT THERE YOU DECIDE TO CHANGE OR YOU DON’T MAKE IT. SOMETIMES IT’S JUST SOMETHING THAT WORKS ITSELF OUT AND YOU GO HOME A CHANGED PERSON. YOU HAVE LOTS OF TIME IN YOUR HEAD WALKING 13 TO 30 MILES A DAY FOR 5 MONTHS STRAIGHT. LOTS OF TIME TO REFLECT. OCT - 2018 - 18.5 MILES FROM NORTHERN TERMINUS. YOU WAKE THOSE LAST FEW DAYS, FEELING LIKE YOU HAVE DONE IT. IT’S RIGHT THERE. A PILGRIMAGE THAT A FORTUNATE HANDFUL OF SOULS HAVE EVER WALKED. WINDING ALONG A MILDLY EASY PORTION ON ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS TRAILS IN THE WORLD. IT’S BEFORE YOU AND IT AWAITS. WHILE YOUR WALKING THOSE LAST REMAINING MILES TO TERMINUS. YOU’RE REFLECTING A LOT. THOSE EARLY THOUGHTS OF DESPAIR AND ANGUISH. ALL THE BLISTERS AND BUSTED KNEES. HIKERS SNORING IN CAMP. RAIN, COLD, MOSQUITOES, HUNGER. THE ANIMALS AND VIEWS OF BEAUTY AND THE AMAZING PEOPLE YOU MET ALONG THE WAY, THEY ALL BEGIN TO RACE THROUGH YOUR HEAD. ITS A FLASH THAT LAST DAY. THOSE LAST GLORIOUS SECOND TIL YOU MAKE CONTACT WITH THE MONUMENT. THEN YOUR ON AN APPROACH TO THE TERMINUS. A SHORT BEND AND THEN THE CLEARING. YOU SEE IT, YOU HEAR THE OTHER HIKERS, OR IT’S COMPLETELY SILENT. I REMEMBER STOPPING JUST SHORT. MY BUDDY, DAVE KIDDER SHERWOOD, AKA TUMBLEWEED. SAID, “WELL MAN ARE YOU READY”. I REPLIED, “HELL YES LET’S DO THIS”. BUT! AS QUICK AS IT HAD BEGUN AND IT’S OVER. IN A FLASH IT’S JUST OVER! IT WASN’T WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE, MOST HIKERS SAY THE SAME THING. WE SPEND MONTHS WAITING FOR THIS EXACT MOMENT. IT WAS A EMPTY FEELING. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THAT MOMENT. YOU CAN SEE IT ON ME. IT WAS WEIRD. I ACTUALLY LOOK SAD. HONESTLY, IN THAT MOMENT, I WAS SCARED TO DEATH. I HAD VERY LITTLE LEFT IN MY LIFE. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS GONNA DO. YOU’RE EMPTY, AND LIKE MOST ATTEST TO. WHAT DO I DO NOW? DON’T GET ME WRONG, IT WAS ONE THE MOST AMAZING MOMENTS IN MY LIFE. IT JUST TAKES BEING BACK IN THE NORMAL WORLD FOR IT TO CLEAR IN YOUR HEAD, THIS EXPERIENCE CAN ONLY BE COMPARED TO MY FATHER POUNDING MY AIRBORNE WINGS INTO MY CHEST ON GRADUATION DAY. I REMEMBER THINKING THAT NIGHT IN MY TENT AT MY FINAL CAMP SITE. I HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN. AND SURE ENOUGH. YOU IMMEDIATELY START DREAMING AND PLANNING FOR YOUR NEXT GREAT ADVENTURE. SO, WHATS NEXT, YOU THINK TO YOURSELF. I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE REAL WORLD. FOR ME I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS NEXT. LITTLE DID I KNOW WHEN I STEPPED OFF THE TRAIN BACK IN OHIO I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL FORM MY MENTOR AND GREAT FRIEND. HE SAID, “WELDY, GREAT JOB ON THE TRAIL, WHY DON’T YOU COME DOWN AND SEE ME. I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU” THE NEXT CHAPTER IN MY LIFE WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN.
