I went on a seven-day trek in Chilean Patagonia — spontaneously. It changed my life
One evening, in the southernmost Irish pub in the world, my life changed forever. It was the start of my first ever solo trip, and I had just arrived in Ushuaia, the leaping-off point for Antarctica, on the southern tip of Argentinian Patagonia. I had chosen South America partly because it was summer there, and I wanted a post-university escape from the depressing London weather. But that evening, covered in snow and wearing the battered winter coat I had packed at the last minute when my older brother informed me that Patagonia was, in fact, freezing this time of year, I realized my plan had gone awry. Feeling cold and directionless — both in my travels and my life — I dipped into the Dublin Pub, looking for inspiration. There, over pints of Guinness, I met two people who would change my life. First, I met Áine, a hilarious Irishwoman who regaled me with stories of her expeditions across the world. Then there was Brad, a stoic American wildfire-fighter, who recounted experiences of jumping out of helicopters into thick smoke to fell trees with a chainsaw, and bowhunting elk for his yearly meat. The pair could hardly have been more different, but they were both seasoned travellers who treated adventure as a way of life. Writer Joshua Korber Hoffman and fellow adventurer Áine during the penultimate day of their trek. I, on the other hand, was a born-and-raised Londoner who thought of the great outdoors as a mythical place. But hearing about Brad's recent trek through neighbouring Chilean Patagonia, I was enthralled. He had hiked for a week through cold and snow, over mountains and above glaciers, across lakes and through thick forest. He encouraged me to do the same — on the 'O' circuit in Torres del Paine National Park. This trek is considered one of the park's most demanding and spans approximately 120 kilometres. I would have to carry all my own food and equipment, and hope for the best. Recklessly, I booked it. Brad said I could do it, and I believed him. Áine, a stranger until two hours before this, said she would join me. Brad lent me his tent and sent us on our way. What followed was a seven-day trip that changed my perspective on the world. It was hard, but the rewards were spectacular. One day, while hiking over a mountain pass, we were caught in a blizzard, the snow up to our knees. But at the top of that mountain, the wind whipping against our faces, we saw Grey Glacier, the national park's largest and most impressive glacier, stretched out to the horizon below us — huge, jagged, inhospitable. After we descended a steep and muddy path, clinging onto ropes for dear life, the sky cleared and we saw the glacier's undulating mass in all its blue and white glory. Hikers climbing the John Gardner Crossing, a notoriously difficult mountain pass en route to Grey Glacier. The following day, a hiker sustained an exposed leg fracture on the same route, resulting in a two-day stay at a nearby encampment with only mild painkillers available, before being airlifted to Santiago. Luckily, we survived in one (rather achy) piece. There was little relief from discomfort even at night, due to Brad's tent being a 'bivvy' — essentially a body bag designed for extreme conditions on mountain ledges. I felt like a caterpillar inside a chrysalis with a dwindling oxygen supply. But I will never be able to replicate the feeling of unzipping it in the middle of the night and seeing Orion shining brightly directly above me, or emerging like a butterfly at dawn to a bright red sky. Through endless conversations with Áine over the seven days, and with the voice of Brad in my head, I was inspired to treat life less seriously, to be bolder and more spontaneous, and to view the post-university world as an opportunity rather than an intimidating void. After the trek, I threw away my winter coat, which had leaked one too many feathers despite the tape valiantly attempting to plug the holes, and I moved on to warmer climes. But the experience in Chilean Patagonia, and the people I met, stayed with me.

Dayton celebrates successes, impact of First Four
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — As March Madness heats up, Dayton is catching its breath after an exciting week of hosting visitors from all across America. The First Four is more than just basketball for Dayton — it's also a chance to showcase the city to a massive influx of sports fans. Bars and restaurants throughout the downtown area were packed all week by locals and visitors alike. 'The beautiful thing is, we always say Dayton is the epicenter of college basketball,' said Jeff Hoagland, Dayton Development Coalition president and Big Hoopla volunteer. Now, the after effects of the First Four is being felt throughout Dayton. 'It does have a great economic impact to our region. It's over $5 million,' said Hoagland. And not only was money generated, but money in scholarships was also given out to kids who participated in the Big Hoopla STEM Challenge. Organizers say they nearly doubled last year's numbers of kids participating in the program, with 1,300 students this year. For 12 of those kids, they got the chance to kick start their dreams early. 'These family members now have an opportunity, and some have said that they wouldn't have the opportunity to send their kids to college. So this gives them an opportunity,' said Hoagland. Fans pack UD Arena for First Night of First Four Wright Patterson Air Force Base members also got a chance to participate this week, with more than 70 men and women sworn-in during the First Four. 'Just watching them be sworn in, and then seeing the crowd give a standing ovation, cheering and just chanting 'USA, USA' the entire time just gives you those goosebumps,' said Hoagland. Setting the stage: The unsung heroes behind First Four Local businesses also saw a boom in their establishments. At the Dublin Pub, workers saw a big rush before and during the games. 'We had a very big lunch rush for people just coming in to town and then right before the games too,' said John Loch, Dublin Pub bar manager. The pub even says they had San Diego State and American University stop in to enjoy their offerings. 'It's really neat. We had a couple of the college presidents stop in here as well, just chatting with them,' said Loch. 'We're just really glad they get the opportunity to come in and enjoy throughout the day.' Another local establishment also saw a huge rush — Milano's on Brown Street. 'Done a lot of good stuff. We got busy all the time with people coming in,' said Larry Adkisson, Milano's general manager. And just like Dublin Pub, not only did Milano's serve new faces, but entire teams as well, even serving those who wanted one last taste of Dayton. 'We fed a couple of the teams, so after their game we had them deliver food to them, to their buses so they could eat on the way home,' said Adkisson. With the First Four continuing to stay here in Dayton for the next few years, many are looking forward to seeing these streets continue to be packed as March Madness starts right here in downtown Dayton.

Police, businesses prepare for busy St. Patrick's Day weekend
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — After this past weekend's St. Patrick's Day gathering on University of Dayton's campus ended with several arrests, safety is a priority heading into St. Patrick's Day weekend and First Four. Bars and restaurants are getting ready to make sure things run smoothly Monday for the holiday. Based off beer sales, the Dublin Pub in the Oregon District is the state's largest St. Paddy's Day party. Its owners have been working all week to prepare while also keeping an eye on safety. 'We actually sell more Jameson or more Guinness than any other venue in the entire state,' said Dublin Pub co-owner Steve Teiber. 'You know, St Patrick's Day makes everything come alive.' 'Dayton really is kind of the center of St Patrick's Day for Ohio. And then you also throw in the first four tournament and the basketball, you throw all those things in combined and you've got this big electric city.' 12 arrested, more details of UD incidents over the weekend revealed On Wednesday, the pub will begin assembling the tents it will use to corral the revelers for its 27th St. Patrick's Day. It will take about five days to finish building them. The pub staff has been cleaning out plumbing and doing all the preparation they can before the big day. A large part of the preparation: Hiring enough staff to accommodate the hundreds of people who will begin lining up at 4:30 a.m. Monday. At least 30 members of that staff will be security personnel, on the ground to keep the peace, check IDs and ensure everyone drives safe for the holiday. 'We've got plenty of security on-site. Traditionally, we rarely ever have problems,' said Teiber. 'I'm sure there's a lot of people that sometimes overindulge a little bit, but that's why we always, always try and get them to our ride-share or ArriveSafe.' Law enforcement is in full gear to help keep everyone safe this St. Patrick's Day. 'We want to keep the people having a good time that are safe as well as the other people that we're sharing the roadways with,' said Maj. Andy Flagg with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office. Flagg said deputies will be in six locations to watch out for impaired driving and disturbances. The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office has already announced it will have an OVI checkpoint set up Monday, though it hasn't yet revealed the final location. Montgomery County Prosecutor Mat Heck Jr. is planning to bring back his ArriveSafe program to give out free Uber rides. There will be a free shuttle operating from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday to take people between the Dublin Pub (Oregon District), Flanagan's (Stewart Street north of UD) and Harrigan's (Kettering).
