“It must be REALLY COLD!”

Geolyn Carvin has been sharing her creations with Tahoe Weekly readers since 2018, shortly after the release of her book “On the Trail with Boots McFarland-Volume 1,” a collection of humorous and thoughtful outdoor comics interspersed with entries from the artist’s Pacific Crest Trail journal.

After reading through her book, we invited Carvin to share her illustrations in Tahoe Weekly. Purchase a copy of her book on Amazon. You can also sign up for her weekly newsletter at bootsmcfarland.com.

A native of California, Geolyn enjoys all the natural advantages of living in such a vast and varied state. As a child she camped every summer in Yosemite, hiked the mountains and played in the surf of the Pacific ocean. Jan. 1, 2002, Geolyn put her mind to hiking the Pacific Crest Trail and took 13 years to complete it. With her busy schedule, section hiking it seemed the wise thing to do. As she hikes she writes a journal documenting her many adventures. Passing these short stories around for all to read, it became apparent that it was comedy. This is how “Boots” McFarland was born. Why not draw some of these ridiculous situations. Every hiker experiences them and better to laugh at than cry. | bootsmcfarland.com
