Ken Czarnomski has always loved sketching and writing, but as a department chair for the sustainability and construction management programs at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College, his projects consisted mainly of razor-straight lines and technical engineering language. There wasn’t a lot of room for freehand sketches or colorful commentary.
After retiring, Czarnomski began looking around for ways to pick up some of those hobbies he’d left untouched as a working professional. At the same time, he wanted to find a way to give back to his community, Haywood County. So, he started sketching hiking maps.
Czarnomski’s Purchase Knob map came out in 2013, and now Czarnomski has released a second, a full-color one-pager of the Sam Knob area of the Shining Rock Wilderness. The maps are scaled, labeled and surrounded by illustrations of the plants, wildlife and features such as rocks and waterfalls that make the areas what they are.
And to sweeten the deal, they’re free, available through the Haywood County Tourism Development Authority and its visitor’s centers.
