I have to admit...I'm really going to miss living in the northeastern coastal forests ecoregion. Hiking these hills and mountains of New England, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, I've never felt more connected to the source of all that supports our fragile existence in Megalopolis. Trees that clean the air we breathe. Precious, clean water. Wildlife living in balance with us. Still, I'm fraught with anticipation of what life will bring us down in the subtropical steppe, somewhere between the Chihuahuan Desert and the southern Rockies. Less water for sure. But the hiking should be phenomenal!
For more on the hiking I've been doing while staying in New England these past few months, check out my blog Man of Merit.
