Welcome to my blog.
Expect reflections on long distance hiking, hiking culture, nature, creativity and my undying love for backrests.

I'm reading all I can find about thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail.
Here is my review of AWOL on the Appalachian Trail by David Miller.
If you can get past the whining about infected blisters and lost toenails, there is a lot to love about this book and a lot to connect the journey on the AT to the journey of life.
I expect the only books I read between now and mid-March will be books about hiking the Appalachian Trail. From poetically, descriptive tomes about nature and spiritual evolution to wonky missives centered around gear and mileage and locations of all you can eat pizza buffets within hitch-hiking distance of the trail.
It’s all good and I’m soaking it all in.
To wit, I’ve just finished Appalachian Trials: A Psychological and Emotional Guide to Successfully Thru-Hike the Appalachian Trail by Zach "Badger" Davis.
This is my review of the book and some personal musings on how I know I'm in the right place doing the right thing in spite of the fear.
