In early May 2025, I set out on a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail as the Appalachian Trail Conservancy’s first artist-in-residence. I’m blogging periodically about my progress, so stay tuned for future updates. Thanks for following along!
Appalachian Trail, 1 Day Out
Oh my goodness, to be one day out is truly surreal. I spent most of my last morning in Philadelphia running around like crazy, going to the studios, cleaning, packing, etc. I was going right until we called the car. But I feel confident that I have everything I need, maybe more than I need. But around 1:15 Alex and I arrived at the airport. That giddiness of heading out of town for a prolonged period of time.
