Flint Grove

This is about the contemplative reflections of a true vagabond. www.FlintGrove.com Flint Grove was born in Lincoln Square, Chicago.

He was a man who traveled in search for something real. I first met Flint when I was thumbing my way through the Di**le Peninsula. He was gracious enough to allow me to entertain his guests with my guitar and spoken word in return for boarding at the Grapevine Hostel. Years would go by until I would see him again. In between that time he left Ireland to travel through Iceland and other arctic nati

ons before reaching Alaska. I hosted Flint during his last days on Earth. He surfed in Clam Gulch before attempting to cross Kachemak Bay to smuggle goods into Halibut Cove. During that journey, on that early spring evening; he caught a Chinook wind that fatally capsized his kayak. When he was recovered from Kachemak Bay, his cremated ashes were sent back to his home where his soul was poured into the Chicago River by his long lost love, Joule. Soon thereafter, I discovered what he had left behind in the treehouse during his stay with me. Next to his bunk there sat three items—his coffee mug, a cigarette, and his journal that contained his contemplative reflections on life. This is an attempt not so much to tell his story, but his take on his existence…
