May 1, 2022 0 PCT miles Idyllwild, California I am oddly comfortable when I wake up. I stretch out and remember that I am in a bed in a hotel room instead of on my crinkly potato chip sleeping pad in my tent in the woods. 6:00 comes and goes, then 7. It’s close to …

happy fall y’all 🍁 good vibes recently here in the ohio river valley ☺️ Ask me what I love, and I will show you Living in a field of vision The only thing I’m more obsessed with than King Gizz is the people I’ve met because of them… ok and maybe also Chicago food 🌭🍕 King Gizzard at Forest Hills Stadium, August 1-2, 2025: one night of orchestra (fancy!), one night of classic Gizz rock and roll. Back to back days of musical wizardry, camaraderie, and joy. I’m so happy I’m alive at the same time as this band and everyone who loves them. Onto the next one! 🎶🐊 Cdmx con @monica.e.pence 🇲🇽❤️ It’s the journey that matters in the end. But it sure was nice to finally see the official end of the PCT anyway. Earlier this summer I spent three weeks in Japan with my adventure mom @spechtmarla!
