I am now a month into my art residency at Bernheim Forest in Clermont, KY. I will be tromping around the woods climbing trees and making art till the end of January. Please follow me on Twitter @dailyclimb to see updates images and more.

We last found our intrepid traveler and tree-climber staying with a college friend in Palo Alto, CA. This is his last week in California and, in fact, it is the last week of his trip. Starting with a flight to NYC, some trips to Boston and western Mass, then the long train ride across the [...]

After an unforgettable but brief visit to the coastal redwoods, I wound my way south to Palo Alto. My college friend, Ben Griggs, put me up in his guestroom for the next two weeks. I revisited some familiar trees from my trip here two years ago, and found plenty of new ones.
After the Redwoods, climbing [...]

Rachel, Steve, Abbey & I loaded into the car on the morning of April 5th to set off down the coast to Palo Alto. I wish the two day road trip could have been 2 weeks with more time to play on the coastal rocks and camp amidst the giant redwoods. It was my first [...]

The train rolled into the Portland, Oregon station on a cool and cloudy late March morning. The 55 hour trip was over and I was greeted by my friend Rachel. We had some brunch and then headed back to the house where I used to live. I got to see my old dog, Abbey, and [...]

Scott, Julia & I finished our walk through China Town and I packed up my things and headed to Penn Station. A few weeks prior I purchased a one-way train ticket from New York to Portland, OR. The first leg, the Lake Shore Limited, rolls across NY state, touches Pennsylvania and goes along the northern [...]

To bring you back up to date: I left at the end of February 2010 and flew to NYC to stay with my brother Scott. During the month up North I visited Boston and Amherst, MA. For this blog entry I’ll be sharing my last few days in New York before the long train ride [...]
