Porkies Wilderness Wanderings
By John Highlen
From boyhood camping trips to being an Artist-in-Residence, John Highlen has come to know the Porkies as a place for big dreams and adventurous explorations. Across the seasons and throughout the park, John has enjoyed a wide range of Porkies experiences, taking with him collections of pictures and pages of notes, while leaving behind only footprints. Admittedly, sometimes muddy footprints, but still just footprints.
Regardless of the mode of travel—walking, paddling, snowshoeing, skiing, rock-hopping, or wading—the miles go by and the stories flow. This book is a collection of those wilderness wanderings that span the spectrum from distant memories to far-reaching dreams.
Whether you’re a long-time Porkies participant or still planning for your first visit, there’s a connection waiting to be made here in these pages.
