From 2014: A sense of discovery—of exploring new frontiers — is what drew Mark all the way from his New Jersey home.
Four years of research, a gruelling three-day hike in some of the most inhospitable terrain our country has to offer—and all amateur explorer Rob Mark received in the way of a greeting when he arrived at the world’s largest natural dam was one seething beaver. “It came out and started slapping its tail to let the other beavers know that something was wrong, and to stay away,” said Mark, 43, an IT professional and former paramedic from Maplewood, N.J. “It was his home. He didn’t want me there.
That sense of discovery—of exploring new frontiers where no man had been before—is what drew Mark all the way from his New Jersey home. It’s not the first time that’s happened: He’s a member of the Explorers’ Club, and he gets the itch for a big adventure every year, including one previous trip through the Andes in Peru. In fact, it’s not even the first time Mark tried to get to this particular dam, having heard about it when it was first discovered.
