And it begins again…
New country. New season. New job… NEW BLOG.
Now we move from the streets of Spain to the woods of western Massachusetts, where I will return to work for another season with the Appalachian Mountain Club. Except this summer, instead of building the trail as a crew leader, I will be hiking it as a ridgerunner.
Yes, “ridgerunner” is an invented word. Spell check keeps reminding me of this. Thankfully, an insightful and informative article about ridgerunning is currently the cover story of this month’s issue of AMC Outdoors, so to prove that my job is legit and clear up any confusion about what exactly it is I’m doing out in the woods all summer, please refer to:

Emphasis: this article is about my job specifically, which is pretty cool. As in, the guy quoted throughout it is now my boss. I hope the fame doesn’t go to his head.
