Dear Hikers and friends
I have an idea for a project I would appreciate some feedback on. In 2012, I’m planing to hike the A/T South to North and then on into Nova Scotia, Canada, being a Brit I’ll only have a 6 months visa. While on the trail I want to paint mainly watercolours and pencil sketches. I’ve already received some real positive feedback from other postings on this subject and would appreciate all your thoughts and ideas on my plan. As I hike; I will stop at various beauty spots and places of interest and paint. If I cover 10-15 miles a day I’ll be happy. Since I won’t be rushing I finish I’ll need fewer, although some rest days, and I can forward sketch books and finished paintings on ahead to my folks in Canada. Lots still to think about and plan.
What do I need from you guys?
Well, I know there a mine of information just on WhiteBlaze and I know I’ll meet a lot a real interesting folks on the trail but as well watercolours and sketches I want to include anecdotes, trail law, poems and as many of those wonderful trail quotes as I can collect. I also want to know what you would like to see in such a book. I want people to buy it, look through it and say, Yeah, I saw that, I slept there or I heard someone say that. Were such a book available, priced around $20-25 would you buy it?
Looking forward to hearing your comments:
Regards
