WALKING OUT OF NEW YORK CITY

“We are walking out of this city.

“We are heading north along Broadway, the oldest road in New York.

“The first day we will walk from Union Square to Van Cortlandt Park, in the Bronx. There are extensive woods there where we will pass the night.

“The second day we will walk from the Bronx to Sleepy Hollow and pass the night in Rockefeller State Park.

“The third day we will reach our final destination: Croton Point Park.

“There will be a ceremony in the river.

“The 1 train runs from Union Square to Van Cortlandt underneath Broadway. The Hudson Metro North line runs parallel to Broadway along the Hudson River. There are thirteen stops along it which are accessible from the walk.”

In 2006, I was somehow listed in the Music section of Los Angeles Magazine's annual "Power" issue. In 2007-8, I produced a blog called "Nature Trumps," about the L.A. River. From 2010 to 2021, I lived in rural wilderness in Joshua Tree, Ca.
