The last few Decembers have been tricky. Emotionally exhausting. Sad. Gloomy. Anxiety all the time. The gray December weather never helps. Right now I’m feeling pretty ready for the new year. A large part of my excitement stems from the three-week cross-country road trip I’m planning for May. It’ll cover fifteen states, a few major cities, a lot of small, forgotten, dusty towns, sunrises and sunsets in multiple deserts, canyons, and at least eleven amazing national parks, including Joshua Tree, Zion, and Bryce Canyon. And camping. And all of the hiking. Can’t wait to wander and document it here.

There are more exciting plans in the works, too. Anyway, here are some pictures from December. Looking forward to peace and adventures in 2021.
