In life, there are the journeys that define you the ones that build your character or give you a spiritual sense of purpose. When Yvon Chouinard and Douglas Tompkins drove a Ford Econoline van from Ventura, California, to Patagonia in 1968, it set the course for what they would do later in life: Chouinard founded the outdoor company Patagonia, and Tompkins co-founded The North Face. Both men became revered environmentalists and conservationists. But back in those early days, they were just two dirtbag adventurers eager to explore the wilds of South America.
Decades later, Jeff Johnson found the 16 mm footage of that 1968 trip and was inspired to follow in the footsteps of his heroes with a journey of his own, traveling from Mexico to Chile by boat. That six-month expedition ultimately became the subject of the 2010 documentary, 180° South: Conquerors of the Useless.

OSU will require COVID-19 vaccinations for on-campus students, employees By Jeff Manning, oregonlive.com

Oregon State University became the first public college in the state Tuesday to announce it will require proof of COVID-19 vaccination for students, faculty and all other employees beginning in the fall term.
Three private colleges have issued similar requirements, and the rest of the state’s public colleges are mulling whether to do the same.
As of Tuesday, officials at the state’s other two large public colleges Portland State University and the University of Oregon said no decisions have yet been made.
Becky Johnson, interim president at OSU, said proof of vaccinations will “contribute to the greatest level of population protection possible” from the virus.
