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

Photo looking along the length of a snow-covered trail on the ridge of a mountain. The peak of a neighboring mountain on the ridge is seen further down the trail. Gray overcast skies.

I took this pic on the Franconia Ridge Trail between the summits of Little Haystack Mountain and Mt Lincoln. The peak seen is Mt Lincoln.

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

Photo of ocean as taken from trail I used to cut across the peninsula. This is the end of the trail and a full view of the ocean is appearing. Grasses on each side of the trail of sand. Dark storm clouds overhead.

Photo closeup of pile of rocks (cairn) at top of snow-covered mountain with view of several mountain ranges in background. The cairn is partly covered with snow and the exposed rocks are covered with green lichen. Gray sky overhead.

I took this photo last month at the summit of Little Haystack Mountain, White Mountains, New Hampshire. I had just spent five hours snowshoeing from the base of the mountain to this summit. The mountains seen off in the distance are ones I’ve also hiked in, including Mt Washington the one that is snow-covered and in line with the cairn.

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

Photo of snow-covered trail in snowy forest. The trail is winding around the evergreen trees.

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)

A collection of outdoor food items including Backpacker's Pantry Three Cheese Mac & Cheese, Trailtopia Chili Mac with Beef, Yellowbird Bliss & Vinegar condiment bottles, and two packages of P.B. B's oat bars in grape and strawberry flavors.

After hiking on a local trail this afternoon, I ended the day walking on this beautiful #beach on the #ocean. These sand ripples, exposed as the tide was going out, were some of the many interesting features I saw! #CapeCod #wavy #Seascape

Photo looking along the length of sand ripples. The ripples extend from the camera to the ocean seen off in the distance. The ripples are wet in the foreground. The ripples off in the distance have water in the troughs and are reflective of the deep blue sky overhead.

I took this photo on a beach on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

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

Photo of lake taken from shore. Evergreen trees line the lake and blue sky overhead. Small ripples on the surface of the water.

Photo of large boulder at summit of mountain with neighboring mountain peak off in the distance in the background. The boulder is covered with green lichen and snow. The distant mountain is covered with snow and the sky overhead is gray and cloudy. An interesting contrast is made between the closeup of the green boulder and mostly gray and white background.

I took this photo on my snowshoeing trip last week in the White Mountains, New Hampshire.
I am standing at the summit of Little Haystack Mountain looking toward Cannon Mountain.

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.

The morning sun shining through a forest of pine in deep snow.

My hammock slung between two trees. The snow under it has been packed down by my snowshoes.

A meadow with hummocks of snow, stands of brushy alder, and rust colored grass, drowning in the melt water.

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

Photo taken from snow-covered trail showing snow-covered mountain at horizon. The trail is steep and has evergreen trees on each side. I took this photo just below the exposed rock summit and as I entered the forested region.

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

Photo closeup of rime ice that formed on a lichen-covered boulder. The ice is shaped like the point of a sharp pencil. There are many closely spaced points, all aimed in the same direction. The lichen is dark green.

I took this photo on the summit of Little Haystack Mountain, White Mountains, New Hampshire.

Photo closeup of rime ice that formed on a lichen-covered boulder. As with the upper left photo, many sharp points of ice closely spaced and pointing in the same direction, but now growing out of a fan-shaped section of ice. View of neighboring mountain peaks off in the distance, somewhat blurred.

Same location as upper left photo, different boulder.

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

Photo closeup of a section of frozen waterfall. The section is surrounded by snow above and below that cover the rest of the waterfall. This section contains large icicles with a blue hue.
