Planning for the John Muir Trail has officially begun!
I'm hoping to start the 221-mile thru hike in late August.

#Hiking the ridge of a mountain gives nonstop great views. This was my view when I snowshoed up to this ridge last month in the White #Mountains, #NewHampshire. I’ve hiked long sections of this ridge in the past, but only went a short distance this time. So great to be up there! #FootpathFriday #winter #snowshoeing
irgendwo zwischen Jaufenpass und St. Leonhard

Camp hack: in the backcountry without a sink or tap water? Need to clean those grimy stuck-on oats from your cooking pot? Grab a handful of pine needles, fold them in half, add a splash of water and scrub! Works like a charm every time.
This was my first view of the #ocean today while #hiking around a peninsula. Outgoing leg was on the side of the peninsula facing the mainland with an expansive marsh in between. Then we cut across the peninsula (seeing this view) and returned on the ocean side. With strong winds and dark overcast, we had the place mostly to ourselves! #CapeCod #beach #SeaScape
Here is a peaceful scene from last week’s #snowshoeing adventure in the White #Mountains of #NewHampshire. I had been snowshoeing for 3.5 hours and had only seen one person. I was completely alone in my thoughts being one with #nature! So wonderful! #FootpathFriday #winter #hiking
New blog! A record of all the gear I took on my first backpacking trip, after tons of research and many hours at REI. Let's see how much this changes over the years as I follow the inevitable "Ultralight" trajectory of most backpackers

Some tasty new morsels to try at camp and on the trail! Fritos will of course be added to the Chili Mac...
(The Blue Agave Sriracha is not new, though -- I never leave home without it)
Hiked around this beautiful lake this afternoon in SE Massachusetts. Until recently, it had been frozen completely across and with a layer of snow everywhere. What a difference a few weeks makes! Just a few scattered patches of ice on the trail and some ice at one end of the lake. #hiking #backpacking #nature #NaturePhotography #landscape #photography #LandscapePhotography #GetOutside
Last night I watched the stars twinkle in the cold and listened to the wind running in the treetops and woke up this morning to a glorious sunrise in Indian heaven wilderness. My tracks were the only sign of humans for miles.
When I caught #covid19 back in 2022, I had no idea it would derail my #hiking and #backpacking adventures & training by 3 years... but yesterday I climbed a mountain.
Fuck you, #LongCovid!
This was my view earlier this week as I began my descent down the mountain and dropped below the tree line. It was much steeper than the pic shows— needed to proceed carefully on my snowshoes. Had to say goodbye to the views of the nearby mountains as I disappeared into the forest! #FootpathFriday #mountains #winter
Beauty was abound when I snowshoed up a mountain earlier this week. While the views at the summit of nearby mountain peaks/valleys were beautiful, so were the small features at my feet. Check out the rime ice that formed on the boulders. This ice forms in windy fog and points into the wind as it is forming. #ice #mountains #lichen

Here is one of the picturesque treats I experienced on my way up to the summit of the mountain yesterday. A gorgeous section of frozen #waterfalls. Most of the 80 feet (24m) tall #waterfall was covered with snow, but this section was not covered, exposing its beauty. #WaterfallWednesday #mountains #hiking
Had a fabulous day of #snowshoeing today in the White #Mountains, #NewHampshire. Conditions were perfect. Had the snowshoes on from the car to the summit and back. More pics to come! #hiking #backpacking #winter
