D.C. friends, I’ll be passing through town in a few weeks and then again later in the fall after I (hopefully) finish the trail. See y’all soon!

Hello from the Appalachian Trail! I’m about 725 miles into an attempt to thru-hike the whole thing southbound from Maine to Georgia.

I’m posting photos/updates over on Instagram if you want to follow my hike: https://t.co/21EasYclH8

@bydanielmoore @ChuckMcCutcheon Go work there! Daniel's a great newsletter partner, and I'd recommend my job to anyone who asks.

And to my D.C. friends and Senate basement buddies...stay in touch. I'll be back around the energy/climate/environment journalism world soon.

Personal news: Tomorrow is my last day at Axios.

I'm taking some time off work and heading up to Maine next month to start a very long hike on the Appalachian Trail.

More on that sometime soon, but in the meantime...

[Nick Sobczyk @nick_sobczyk]

A huge thank you to @bydanielmoore, @ChuckMcCutcheon and tons of others for making Axios a great place to work.

It's one of the best places to be in D.C. journalism, and I'm immensely grateful for the opportunity to start Pro Energy Policy.

But she's right -- this is a super sick gig. Come write a newsletter with me! We'll have fun!
