Welcome!
I am an artist who hikes. A hiker who arts. A traveller who revels in the journey without undue devotion to the destination. I hike to be somewhere, not to get somewhere. Thanks for joining me on this journey.
Expect reflections on long distance hiking, art-making on trail and off, hiking culture, nature and my undying love for backrests.

Follow along as I plan my upcoming hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, with loads of information about gear, resupply, outfits, healthy eating and pre-hike training. Let’s do this!
“Quitting is fundamentally different from stopping. The latter happens all the time. Quitting happens once. Quitting means not starting again--and art is all about starting again.” ~David Bayles & Ted Orland, Art and Fear
They may have been talking about quitting art, but the sentiment is the same for long distance hiking.
How are you training your home team?
I put a question to members of a thru-hiker support group I’m in and asked this of the former thru-hikers and LASHes:
What did your home team do to offer support that was special and meaningful?
Here's what they said.
