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.

It's also wet here. Which leaves me thinking about rain-gear. A LOT.
Today I ponder the pros and cons of carrying an umbrella on a 2,000 mile hike. Read on to see if an umbrella is something you might consider, too.
