So, That Happened

Hi guys. I have some really terrible news. I broke my guitar. Last night I was putting it on its stand so I could get some rest and it didn’t lock into place and crashed onto the floor. BOOM! I stood there in disbelief for a moment before I reached

Tragedy. Magic.

Hello internet! First and foremost, I want to bring up the unfortunate tragedy that occurred during Trail Days. There were no fatalities and since I never attended, I remain unscathed. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Trail Days, it is an annual celebration of Appalachian Trail hiking. Hikers

Herb’s Still Walking, Hanson’s Still Sitting and Not Singing

hanson — Tue, 14 May 2013 12:45:20 +0000

Hey party people! I keep forgetting to tell you all what’s going on. Mostly because not much is going on. But there are some things. I heard from ol’ Herb (Two Sticks) the other day and he is currently walking somewhere north of Atkins, VA on his continuous journey to

Norovirus

The Norovirus is traveling north with us hikers as we contaminate every shelter, hostel, hotel, motel, buffet, and Dollar General along the way. I thought I had this thing beat after being exposed to it in a shelter from two different afflicted hikers – one just 2 sleeping bags away

In The Back Yard

hanson — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 19:34:16 +0000

At my new top secret temporary permanent residence I have the pleasure of having an enormous back yard. It’s bigger than some of the “parks” I used to go hang out in in Manhattan sometimes. And since it is so big, it has lots of possibilities for awesomeness. This past

John Muir was born on April 21st, 1838 in Scotland. He came to the United States at an early age, and worked as a farmer and inventor on his family’s land in Wisconsin. After leaving the farm, he spent three years in college before dropping out due to wanderlust. Ah…

Hello all you people out there that have not forgotten us! It has been over a month since our last performance and life is very different at the moment. As most of you know, ol’ Herb is out walking the Appalachian Trail right now. He should be somewheres in the

6 Days in the Smokies

herb — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 16:08:15 +0000

I didn’t know I’d be climbing mountains of ice, but I did it anyway. I’d been wanting to hike the Smokies for years and as I was ascending the mountain range, I began to remember why they called them “The ‘Smoky’ Mountains”. My climb up started well enough from the

Headed into the Smoky Mountains

herb — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 01:25:57 +0000

Howdy folks! Wow. This walk has been a doozy so far. The climbs are getting easier and the down-hills have been less painful. My biggest foe insofar has been the weather. I knew I’d be walking into some crazy stuff, but some of these days have been ridiculous! Half of

On Listening

I have recently located to a temporary permanent spot to live while ol’ Herb takes 5 or 6 months to walk from Georgia to Maine (I think he’s somewhere in NC right now). And since I’m gonna be in the same place for so long, I decided to dig my
