It's the story and artwork of an artist who had lost all inspiration to draw, until one day he walked across a bald mountain in North Carolina and took a photograph of a lone white blaze that marks the path of the 2189 mile long Appalachian Trail. In that instant, he was catapulted into a world only experienced by long distance hikers. With little hiking know-how and a couple of sketchbooks in hand, he threw on an overweight pack and hit the trail.
