Blissful Hiker is honored to have been named an "Artist in Residence" by the Friends of the Porkies and will live in a remote cabin this spring to create audio narrative essays in Upper Peninsula Michigan in the Porcupine Mountains.  

In this episode, she revisits her fall backpack trip when she fell in love with the "Porkies." 

In this episode:

1.  Blissful visits this magical place, a wilderness state park of 35,000 acres of primary stand hemlock amidst a massive volcanic uplift above Lake Superior. 
2. Her first day is along the escarpment above Lake of the Clouds to her stunning campsite with a large rock apron looking out to the astounding view. 
3. Birds and a wolf celebrate the setting sun and the stars coming out. 
4. As she crawls into her tent, an acorn bombardment spooks her reminding her that this is indeed a wilderness. 

MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala  as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano
