When I headed out on this journey, I expected things to be challenging. I knew the route would be anything but fixed. Little did I understand just how true that would be. I sit here in a small hotel 20 miles Southeast of Shenandoah. I can’t help but wonder what will happen next. The oneContinue reading “The roads to Shenandoah National Park”

Not doing the job, but playing the game, and getting dirty to get on…..it’s been a long time coming.
The elastic stretches, as I mentioned before. Like gravity, the pull of “home” and family brought me back to Georgia. I ended up pulling strings and asking for a few favors to make it happen. I found a corporate job to replenish funds while staging for the next move. I just clocked out of myContinue reading “Not doing the job, but playing the game, and getting dirty to get on…..it’s been a long time coming.”
Projects are distractions with a purpose
Finally making some progress on transitioning my classic Cannondale touring bike into a hybrid bike-packing long hauler. While hiking long trails last year, I found myself moving away from the status quo of going ultralight. I avoided going to town as much as possible. I also learned to push the boundaries of what I couldContinue reading “Projects are distractions with a purpose”

I also worked on the documentary and book in with the free time and free mind. Still, I do allow myself some time to look around. The internet will break free ofContinue reading “What I will miss…….”
Times well spent at Old Stone Fort State Park
Technology can be frustrating at times. I go back and forth between being sickened by how invasive it is. Then, I praise it for how it enlightened me. The one thing I can’t help but enjoy is how inclusive and educational technology can be for the wanderer. I have #google and #alltrails to thank forContinue reading “Times well spent at Old Stone Fort State Park”
Winter is my vibe….
With my current gig, I am fortunate to have a little flexibility. I can step away from the big picture and breathe. A few weeks back, I was lucky to find time to justify heading North with work. This happened just as a rare winter storm was expected to hit the area. I gathered myContinue reading “Winter is my vibe….”
In lieu of resupply boxes
I have had a lot of friends from back home and in my social media world offer to send resupply boxes to me while I am on my trek around the U.S. While the thought and offer really means a lot to me, the reality is that it has been very difficult to schedule resuppliesContinue reading “In lieu of resupply boxes”
It’s been awhile……..
To take off on a sabbatical and hike around the United States and blog about it seemed like such an easy thing to do. Here I am nine months later and between a lack of consistent wifi and cell service, long days, and major shifts in my overall plan and I have zero post explainingContinue reading “It’s been awhile……..”
