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, Days 35-37
I stayed late at the hostel, drinking coffee, eating gas station breakfast food, and stressing about trying to get caught up on journaling. I did have to wait until the post office opened so I could go over and collect the box I sent myself. Once that was done, I sent some extra items back to Philadelphia. After organizing my resupply, my food bag weighed a ton, and my pack could barely close. Walking out of town with a completely full pack is always the worst.
