life after the PCT in Santa Fe

I completed my thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail (2,650 mi from Mexico to Canada) on Oct. 10, 2011.
Just received my medal! more on my PCT hike blog




I moved into a live/work art studio in Santa Fe on Nov 1.
I took a job as scenic carpenter for the Santa Fe Opera and began Nov. 21.

Things are pretty good.  My joints seem well recovered from the hike, though I'm still stiff and my hips don't move right.  I'm doing yoga regularly to work on that, and running very regularly.  I ran my first race (only a 5K).

I look forward to resuming my studio practice and getting this Wild West work going!  But I also have to plan and fundraise for my arctic project next fall - the Arctic Circle residency.
