8.11 ~ Made it to Canada! Stayed with my friend Ti 8.11 ~ Made it to Canada! Stayed with my friend Tina (whom I met in Tamera on my Ecovillage travels) yesterday on Gabriola Island. It's hot (ish), air filled with haze from the forest fires in northern BC. Just feeling grateful to be here again.
Beautiful hiking today! Perfect weather. Salad at Beautiful hiking today! Perfect weather. Salad at the summit. Chipmunks and Blue Jays and Hawks. Boulder is pretty great, y'all. 😄 First leg of my August travels. Next week? Road tripping to Portland and then Vancouver.

Gettin' Stuff Done in West Texas! . Last weekend B Gettin' Stuff Done in West Texas!
.
Last weekend Barton and I met some folks who invited us along for our first jaunt down to breathtakingly beautiful Big Bend National Park. Back in Marfa we helped relocate a huge patch of sunflowers to a neighbor's compost pile.
.
And yesterday we pitched in on a project with local permaculturist Jon Johnson, who (in addition to running the Planet Marfa beer garden) has for years stewarded a volunteer program to install keyhole-style raised beds for Marfa residents to grow their own food. We offered him some tips on Permablitzing and social permaculture that could take it even further, but mostly we lent our hands (and paws) to the Work.
.
Reinforcing existing beneficial relationships and encouraging new ones seems to be our Thing out here. It feels pretty dang great to apply what we've learned on the Journey. But after a nourishing stay in Marfa we feel it's finally time to come Home.
.
Next week: Austin...

Howdy, Marfa! This week Barton and I landed in thi Howdy, Marfa! This week Barton and I landed in this laid-back West Texas hamlet, famous for its mysterious "Marfa Lights", artist culture, and small town charm. We're camping here for a spell, letting the silence and isolation stretch our gaze back on the 15-month #BartonJourney before we return to Austin later this month. And of course there's always local football to watch, galleries to visit, and lots of good folks swinging through to share stories with. Plus the desert here is greener now than anyone alive can remember. It's a weird and wonderful Road indeed...
