March 2024 means
twenty-one years of the In My Backpack website. Twenty-one
years of growth and change that has taken our small little corner
of the internet from a place where we began by posting some
essays and sharing some thoughts and experimenting a bit to
all of the wandering about that leads to places and corners
and surprises you’ll find today.
Essays and interviews.
Travel and sports. Photo galleries and A
Parkside View. Fourteen published books.
Quite the adventure. And it’s going to keep getting better.
With the latest
anniversary, we’ve got some terrific plans in place for fireworks
and a bit of applause. The fifteenth book – A Parkside View:
Volumes 7 & 8 – will be released in March. A lot more
news on that over the next few days. Interviews are returning!
We’ve got a very special guest lined up as we bring interviews
back to the main site and the newsletter. Over the next few
months, we’re going to be doing a massive overhaul of the site
as well as lining up release dates for additional books.
Great stuff.
We also have a really
fantastic project in development that we hope to debut in March.
This one is a brilliant effort to add to Backpackville, and
I am really hoping you will enjoy it. Going to keep the curtain
in place, at least for a bit longer, since a few outside bells
and whistles need to be lined up.
All of that outlined,
let’s finish up February with a strong run. Two essays today
and a few more on the way...
“The
new atmospheric river”
“Now
you see them, now you…”
