The New Book Is Here!


My new guidebook, Trail Running Eastern Massachusetts, is finally in hand! It matches the previous volume very well, and I just love how it looks in general. The official release date is still technically tomorrow (3/31/22), but pre-orders should be showing up now. There are several ways to get copies if you would like one, but why not just order it from your local independent bookseller; everybody wins that way.

The book on the publisher's website:

How To See The Super-Awesome Full Moon

Important steps you need to take to see the super-deluxe mega-awesome extra-full moon: 

  • Figure out which night of any given month the full moon will be on (tip: use a calendar)
  • Go outside ON THAT DATE (but make sure it's at night)
  • Look at moon
  • Watch out for werewolves

Note: For some super-duper overblown occasions, clickbait media will try to convince you that this is the Largest Moon You Will Ever See (since the last Super-Deluxe Extra Mega Full Moon about a month ago), and there may technically be some validity to that, but seriously, think about it for a second and realize that we're basically talking fractions of a nano-size here. The tides aren't suddenly going to sweep the sides of Mt. Everest, nor is the moon going to look like a Death Star coming up over the horizon on the planet Scarif. It's going to to look like the moon, when it's full, which always appears larger when it's right above the horizon.
