L2H day 4: sparrows vs. dove
10/16/19 I'm awake at 6 a.m. Fuck. This cot is still bliss, though. Resting is bliss, even if I can't sleep. What does it even mean to sleep? What does it even mean to have a body? I lay still for another hour, watching the light lose its softness and then I sit up, into … Continue reading L2H day 4: sparrows vs. dove
L2H day 3: the land of zero texture
10/15/19 I am just warm enough. My pad partly deflates and I toss and turn, making unfortunate potato chip noises. When the alarm goes off I play Papa Roach on my phone, making my friends laugh. Gets em every time. We find the explosion of trees in the wash that signals water, somewhere, somewhere there … Continue reading L2H day 3: the land of zero texture
L2H day 2: mountaineering but make it pinyon forest
10/14/19 The alarm on my phone goes off at 5 a.m. and wakes me into a world that is suspiciously like yesterday. Dark. Dry. Moony. I slept maybe five hours? Well. I select Eye of the Tiger in my music and turn the volume up all the way. The others laugh themselves awake. We need … Continue reading L2H day 2: mountaineering but make it pinyon forest
L2H day 0-1: full moon in Aries
10/12/19 I wake at 6 a.m. in my van in the bright desert somewhere west of phoenix. I pull the magnetic covers from the windows, letting in the light. I drove here from Tucson last night in a fog, so tired I could hardly keep my eyes open. I'd spent the previous night awake, waiting … Continue reading L2H day 0-1: full moon in Aries

The haul road to Anaktuvuk: a bit of the Brooks range in Gates of the Arctic
I wake in my van in the loamy shaded forest of the west side of Washington's Olympic peninsula and flick my campstove aflame to heat water for instant coffee. The dogs wriggle awake under the heavy blankets and turn, in a moment, from sweet sleeping hot water bottles to zesty, firey chihuahuas, ready to fight … Continue reading The haul road to Anaktuvuk: a bit of the Brooks range in Gates of the Arctic
Mogollon Rim Trail day 36: Fin
5/15/19 Mileage: 13 469.2 miles hiked The canyon is warm and moony during the night, I sleep lightly, in the morning I have terrible diarrhea. A whole month of sugar, hardly any nutritious food- it's time to finish this trail. A junk food based diet is fun and necessary while hiking but I'm starting to … Continue reading Mogollon Rim Trail day 36: Fin
