Craig Mod is launching a pop-up newsletter called Between Two Mountains that will chronicle his upcoming 200k walk along the Kiso-ji. He wrote up some background in his flagship newsletter, Ridgeline:

A valley is nothing if not a thing: Between two mountains. I’ll have mountains on my left, mountains on my right. Mountains before me, and behind, fore and aft. Up and sometimes down: Mountains. All day every day, I’ll always be between them, much like how the world feels, too, like it’s between one hard immovable, immutable block of pure stupidity, and another immutable block made of distilled, sterling boobery. But my mountains will be nice mountains, natural mountains. Mountains who’ve seen a great many things, good and bad, and who’ll be here long after our foolish fire is extinguished.

I love Craig’s mindful approach to literally everything he undertakes and look forward to following along to his journey.
