Tabs was off earlier this week because I spent Saturday, Sunday, and Monday renewing my Wilderness First Responder certification. WFR is a level of pre-hospital medical training about halfway between first aid and EMT, aimed at developing the skills needed to identify and manage life threats in a wilderness environment.

In keeping with the enthusiastic adoption of fascism by the rest of his cohort of American tech billionaires, a characteristically waxy and dead-eyed Mark Zuckerberg, clad in the Uncut Gems cosplay he has favored recently, announced that he’s unlocked a new slur pack for all of his company’s websites in a bizarre and unsettling video message. Mark Zuckerberg on some extremely “exterminate all the brutes” shit.

Last week, I wrote about the art of return. Iâm dead tired, and Iâm still working on returning. Iâll get there. This weekend was one that made me feel so grateful to live in Austin. On Saturday, I moderated a panel at Texas Book Festival in the underground of the Texas Capitol building. Outside, tens of thousands of people roamed tents to talk about books and ideas and progress in the state that bans the most books.

On the Appalachian Trail, the shelters are welcoming, but there are wasps in the walls. Election Day was another clear, chilly day in an unbroken string of clear, chilly days that stretches back as far as I can remember. Since Virginia, maybe?

We set out to hike together. But sometimes, parenthood is about letting your kid forge ahead. “Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it.” That line always wrecks me when Kermit says it in “The Muppet Christmas Carol,” and it was the thought that finally broke my fragile composure when Mica and I sat on a rock overlooking Great Barrington, Massachusetts, a few weeks ago, and he told me we’d be parting ways in October. We both had some big feelings in the woods.

Two neighboring states, two very different experiences of the Appalachian Trail. This column has always run several weeks behind the events of my thru hike, which is fine because there was never supposed to be anything newsworthy about it. The entire project was intended as an entertaining diversion from what promised to be, and has turned out to be, a dismal season of news. And of course anyone who wants a more contemporaneous account is always welcome to subscribe to my newsletter.

Beautiful, moody, indifferently cruel? Welcome to Maine’s Appalachian Trail. In early August, Mica and I made it to Bear River Road in Grafton Notch State Park, a deep, narrow cleft in the Mahoosuc Range between Baldpate Mountain and Old Speck Mountain, about 15 miles short of the New Hampshire border by trail. After 267 miles of roots, rocks and mud, we were almost done with Maine. I’ve lived in Maine for 23 years, and Mica was born and grew up here.

Democracy Dies in DarknessWhen you’re heading into 100 miles of wilderness, sometimes you have to start with a pause. Sorry, a summary is not available for this article at this time. Please try again later. July 23, 2024 at 5:45 a.m. EDTRusty Foster, a writer in Maine, recently started a planned six-month hike of the Appalachian Trail from his home state south to Georgia with his 19-year-old son, Mica. After a break off-trail for some health issues, the two are now back in the woods.
