After being on the coastal beaches of Brazil for a month it was apparent these mountains had been calling me in since I stepped foot in this country. I woke up one morning and felt it was time to step outside my bounderies, I jumped in my whip, and just started driving, deeper and deeper into the forested mountains. By the time I was climbing in elevation it was dark out and all the stores I passed in small towns were closed, &#8220;would I find a place to sleep, dinner, was I crazy?&#8221;. I quelled my mind and decided to continue forward with the feeling of adventure pulling me deeper into a pleasurable discomfort. I everntually ran into a small town called Ranch Quemado, which is a German settlement, probably 85% German, smack in the middle of S. Brazil. Crazy, the houses and everything, they even spoke German, I met a man who intro&#8217;ed me to a small Inn, it cost $12 and included breakfast, after some beers at a pub I went to sleep. The trip was constantly testing my strength physically, mentally, and emotionally. After some days and nights in new areas\/ towns I returned forever changed by these mountains and people I met along the way. Homage to one of the most beautiful adventures of my life.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><em>-Mike Akomplice<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.akomplice-clothing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_2115.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"IMG_2115\" src=\"http:\/\/www.akomplice-clothing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_2115.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.akomplice-clothing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_2105.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10670\" title=\"IMG_2105\" src=\"http:\/\/www.akomplice-clothing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_2105.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.akomplice-clothing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_2105.gif 650w, https:\/\/www.akomplice-clothing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_2105-300x225.gif 300w, https:\/\/www.akomplice-clothing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_2105-250x187.gif 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.akomplice-clothing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_2115.gif\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was born in the mountains and Akomplice was raised in them.
