Staying on Guard: A Spiritual Encounter of Miracle and Gratitude to Discover Life's Purpose.

While hiking down from the Grad Teton in Wyoming, sixty two year old Dan Wenker slid into an underground ice moat and dropped sixty feet, landing on a small three-foot ledge under the ground. Inside the hole, it was pitch black and wet. Staying on Guard is his story of how he survived the experience and went on to have more adventures.

Dan began mountain climbing in his fifties, and despite more than one accident and a near-death experience, he is not done yet. In these pages, he shares the value of staying active in mid-life and late-life, how to do so safely by staying on guard, and the importance of finding your why and having wonderful and meaningful experiences.
