Field Notes is where I’ll share shorter observations from around California: photographs, maps, roadside discoveries, historical curiosities, brief essays, and the kinds of things that catch a geographer’s eye while traveling through the state.
Think of it as an ongoing geographic notebook, a place for ideas, places, and stories worth exploring even when they don’t become full-length videos.
As I continue building out Golden State Journal, please enjoy this slideshow from two short backpacking trips my wife and I took over Piute Pass into Humphreys Basin in California’s eastern Sierra.
It’s a small glimpse into one of those landscapes that reminds you why California is such an extraordinary place to explore, both geographically and personally.
