We found this shelter at the cold halfway point of a recent hike on the Appalachian Trail south of Pico Mountain, just when we needed it. Check out the trail book! #messysuitcase #travelblog #travelblogger #hiking #appalachiantrail #longtrail #vermont http://ow.ly/5ZPH50Co752

We visited Gettysburg National Military Park to learn how the Civil War went down. Join us as we walk through this iconic battlefield where tens of thousands of soldiers were killed, wounded, or went missing over three days in 1863. #messysuitcase #gettysburg #civilwar #travelblog #travelblogger #Pennsylvania http://ow.ly/gc0n50Bg1OG

I can't wait to go hiking on the Long Trail again. Check out this spectacular vista! We found it last summer hiking just north of the Long Trail Inn off Rte. 4 in Killington. #longtrail #appalachiantrail #vtskihouse #lakerescuechalet #vermont #hiking

Like everyone else on the planet, Messy Suitcase is grounded by the coronavirus. We are in self-isolation in Pennsylvania. Who knows when we will travel again? But that doesn't mean we can't share some of our favorite photos from past journeys! Please enjoy, and escape for a moment or two. This is a view of the Metropolitan Cathedral in Mexico City across the top of an Aztec ruin called El Templo Mayor (the Great Temple). #messysuitcase #travelblog #travel #travelblogger

Today we're at the lake at Bosque de Chapultepec, filming a video for Lower Downtown NYC's Explorer in Chief contest. A snowy egret kindly hung around in the background during the filming, but now he has departed. I'm trying to win a summer in lower Manhattan! It's a long shot, but you can't win if you don't play. Wish me luck! #messysuitcase #travelblog #travel

We're at Chichén Itzá, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It's incredible! You used to be able to climb the 91 steps to the top (I did it once. The trip down was terrifying), but not anymore. Too many people took souvenirs from the monument. It's still fantastic! #chichenitza #mexico #messysuitcase #travel #travelblog #travelblogger
