In planning for an expedition of this nature, ultimately some things do not pan out as planned. It is an inevitable component of something on a scale such as this. We greatly appreciate all of the work and effort that Duane Batcheler put into trying to make this expedition a success. Duane is a great person, but unfortunately we have parted ways for a few different reasons. We truly wish him the best of luck in all of his endeavors and success in his future travels.
