Driving up from Big Bend, I spent some time exploring the small desert towns of West Texas including Marfa, Fort Davis, Alpine and Valentine.

After two weeks working in Austin, I headed out to West Texas, into the high desert to stay explore Big Bend National Park and border country. On the way in I stopped to read a sign with info about the park and was struck by the knowledge that I was looking at the eroded core of an ancient volcano.

I spent two weeks in New Orleans - first visit to an incredible town. It felt incredibly distinct, and I had a fantastic early morning walk out to the Mississippi along the bayou.

Winter Road Trip 2024 /
After 6 consecutive winters spent in the mountains of the Northeast navigating snow storms and keeping wood stoves alive, I decided to take a few months to travel and explore the South and West of the US along with my intrepid Border Collie, Murphy. We’ll be visiting areas I’ve never been before, leaving the Catskills in mid-December and winding our way to New Orleans by way of North Carolina, Tennessee and Mississippi, before turning West for Austin, Marfa and New Mexico.
