Our friend Gavin Verhey, a designer at Wizards of the Coast (and guest on Brainstorm Brewery a while back) is an all-around awesome guy. And on his blog, GavInsight, we get little pictures of his life. This usually comes in the form of Magic-related stories, and I have to say that Gavin is an amazing writer, and was my favorite every week back when he wrote for Star City Games.

This time, however, Gavin's story has nothing to do with Magic. But dang, it's an incredible story. In short, Gavin was on a cruise, got lost on a hike up an inactive volcano, fell down a cliff, and suddenly found himself in a possible life-or-death situation.

It's an incredible story, and I highly suggest reading it in full here.
