Mid-week post, ahoy!
My best running/hiking buddy and I are planning an epic 2-week road trip to Glacier National Park. The adventure begins late this summer, and I am already awash with daydreams. Digging through gear lists and menus from my college outdoor program days, I'm feeling nostalgic and inspired...
This trip will involve planning, gear, food, friendship, natural history, travel, science and conservation... all perfect fodder for a graphic novel.
Part of me whispers "I have no idea what I'm doing" ...but then the feisty scientist on my shoulder proclaims "dammit, this just might work!" I am going to carpe diem the crap out of this year, and work to achieve what I've admired for so many years. (Nerd alert: I love slice-of-life comic artists like Kate Beaton, Samantha "Boum" Leriche-Gionet, Danielle Corsetto, Erika Moen, Lucy Bellwood, and Lucy Knisley.)
More to come,
