Slowing the Mind
By stepping into a new pair of writing shoes - taking on the fiction writing challenge called NaNoWriMo with the goal of completing writing a novel this month - I begin to experience the world differently.
Hiking Roots
No stronger sense of place shaped my life and my future than the setting of my childhood home. On our recent trip to the ALDHA Gathering, I walked the Appalachian Trail of my youth to seek out memories.
You Can't Go Back
Driving US 301 north from Georgia into South Carolina for the first time in decades, I'm in shock at how a once-regular stop for my family, Allendale, has fallen into ruin.
Just Married
After three years of roaming the woods and the world together, John & I get married in the Ocala National Forest with a very hiker-style wedding.
Tony, Cal, and John de la Howe
A passion for history led Anthony Warren to a lifetime hobby of research on Dr. John de la Howe, benefactor of the John de la Howe School in South Carolina and the subject of Warren's novel, Lethe.
Primrose, the Delivery Wagon
One of the best parts of owning a VW camper van is how versatile it can be. When Primrose isn’t home, we make use of her as our delivery vehicle for various projects.
The Return of Primrose
Fall is in the air. Time to bring Primrose out of hibernation. After some decal application and updates, she's ready for the road in November!
Westy in Hibernation
When summer heat settles across Florida, the thing to do with an antique VW camper is to squirrel it away in hibernation in the garage until the weather cools down.
Perception
Our first step in the journey back to the Appalachian Trail to pick up where we left off on our Not Quite Thru of 2012.
Home Sweet Camper
What’s an upgrade from tent camping when you’re hiking? A camper van! JK’s history with VW camper vans led us to a Westfalia of our own to use as our base camp.
