We lost a lot of great things in 2016: Prince, Bowie, relationships, Muhammad Ali, human decency, Leonard Cohen, Alan Thicke, the meaning of words, Nancy Reagan, America, Harper Lee, Elie Wiesel, foresight, Alan Rickman, Doris Roberts, forward progress, Merle Haggard. But two “things” that…

According to Thomas Wolfe, “Once you leave, you can’t go home again,” and I have found this to be quite true, time and again, my 2014 See The World journey being the most recent example. Of course the idea being that throughout your travels,…

PCT | Day 68 | Mile 1195 | I absolutely love being out here on the trail, but it does mean making sacrifices, like not being there for the birth of your little sister's first baby. Welcome to the world, Henry! See you in September!! PCT | Day 67 | Mile 1169 | I keep hearing that people think Northern California is boring. We must have very different definitions of boring. PCT | Day 66 | Waking up's not hard to do when you camp near the chair lifts at Squaw Valley. On a totally unrelated note, my little sister is going to have her first baby any day now, and I'm super bummed I can't be there. PCT | Day 65 | Mile 1140 | You belong among the wildflowers, you belong somewhere you feel free. Right on, Tom Petty. PCT | Day 65 | SOUTH LAKE TAHOE | I'm super into Northern California. PCT | Day 64 | Mile 1063 | "I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadow. If I fail, if I succeed, at least I lived as I believe." Who needs therapy when you have Whitney Houston walking with you through the wilderness reminding you the greatest love of all is inside of you? (Side note: these lyrics are best absorbed whilst yell singing on top of a mountain.) PCT | Day 63 | Mile 1056 | Sometimes the trail takes you through the woods. Sometimes the trail takes you directly though a lake. And sometimes it does both. PCT | Day 61 | Mile 1020 | A few nights ago we made the mistake of sleeping in a meadow. We woke up to frozen socks in the shape of our feet, frosty tents and unopenable bear canisters. No more meadows. PCT | Day 60 | Mile 1017 | We said goodbye to the High Sierras in true thru hiker fashion: cowboy camping in the middle of an epic ridge walk over Sonora Pass. I woke up with drool on my face, my hair in my mouth, snot dripping down, and a cup of Starbucks Via mixed with Carnation Instant Breakfast in my hand. Basically an advertisement for (real) life. Look for me in the next issue of Backpacker. PCT | Day 55 | Mile 927 | These are a few of my favorite things.
