Here is one of the articles I am planning to include as a chapter in the book; this will be the chapter for the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. The pictures were taken by my wife, Jill. (Note that the link, like all of the links on this blog, opens in a new window.)

Welcome!
I’m Tony Porco, and this blog is focused on my upcoming book, Out West Writings. I am self-publishing it, and I am planning to have it ready for purchase in the next year. The book will be a compilation of essays about my travels in the American West, organized by state.
I have been inspired by many Western writers, but John Muir and John Wesley Powell are my favorites. (I am not claiming to write as well as they do; I am only saying that their writing influences me.) I am planning to include illustrations by artist friends of mine. The intended audience for the book includes real and armchair travelers, environmentalists, and anyone who enjoys good, evocative writing.
I will be posting samples, and links to parts of the book that have already been published online, on this blog. Feel free to email me at outwestwriter [at] fastmail [dot] fm. Thank you very much for your interest!
