Recently I’ve been doing long road trips, starting last August with a cross country trek from LA to NY and again this past December from NY to LA. Each trip takes on it’s own characters and it’s been fantastic to reconnect with myself alone as well as with all the incredible people I’ve met along the way. Last weekend I drove up to Moab Utah for a few days of glamping at Under Canvas, doing a photo shoot along the way and in various spots throughout the city. I fell in love with the red hills and the people we met so was really excited to hear about the Worn Wear road trip tour Patagonia just embarked on, starting yesterday in Ventura CA and moving throughout the country all the way to NYC, with a stop in Moab on Saturday and Sunday April 18th & 19th. Patagonia’s vibe is so much in tune with my own; their love of adventure, the open road, and a respect for the environment which they incorporate at every turn. When I was in high school in the late 80s I started a recycling club, which still functions to this day, and have always supported the recycling ethos: reduce, reuse, recycle. A day after Governor Brown of California announced the new water restrictions for the state I think it’s timely to note anyone anywhere who is already doing their part to lighten the load we place on our natural resources on a daily basis. The Worn Wear Wagon, created by artist/surfer Jay Nelson encourages people to fix their clothes rather than replace them at the drop of a trendy hat. Check out the full tour schedule below. And visit the staff from Patagonia’s repair facility who will be traveling in the truck, and they will fix up whatever treasures your closet holds.
