"Still Useful – Abandoned Tractor on the Reroute" - 11x14 Watercolor Print | Pacific Crest Trail Inspired Art

This evocative 11x14 watercolor print captures a weathered copper-brown tractor, spotted on a reroute of the Pacific Crest Trail in Northern California. Painted after a fire detour, the piece speaks quietly to the beauty of what’s left behind—both machinery and momentum. Though the tractor sits unused, its presence along the trail tells a story of resilience and time.

As hikers navigate reroutes and wildfires, the dream of an uninterrupted thru-hike often fades. Yet like this forgotten machine, the journey endures in unexpected forms. This piece is a tribute to the detours we didn’t choose, and the strength we find in continuing anyway.
