2020 in 2020 Update Update

Waxing Gibbous Moon
Nature is orderly. That which appears to be chaotic in nature is only a more complex kind of order. – Gary Snyder
Despite the fricken orderly chaos, I continue to work on the never-ending twin causes of self-improvement and world peace.



The 2020 in 2020 Challenge might be the only thing keeping me sane. 848 miles and counting, mostly on country roads near my camp. I am walking the roads because most of the local trails are either closed or crowded with SIP refugees who walk in clumps of 4-7 and talk unmasked non-stop. This clump-and-chirp technique is not conducive to world peace, fledgling hikers!


I have finished the first draft of my book chronicling my piecemeal 2,661-mile hike of the Pacific Crest Trail between 2001 and 2009. I will attempt to complete all the edits by the end of the summer. I still haven't settled on a title yet. If you have any good ideas, let me know by email and I'll add them to my working list. The book combines my trail stories and historical references to indigenous bands who once occupied lands now crossed by the PCT from Mexico to Canada.


Peace, Love, and Justice,
Jim
