About You

Cory McAbee is currently planning “I_Butterfly”, a nationwide festival of self-guided bike tours that will follow the monarch butterfly paths during the summer/fall migration season. The three paths will include the US East Coast route stretching from Maine to Florida, the mid-America routes from Canada to Mexico, and the West Coast route from the Rockies to the Pacific Ocean. This is a freeform festival created entirely by the efforts of each participant. To enhance and unify the journeys a small selection of online recourses are being recommended. Adding natural spring locations to a planned bike route would greatly enhance the experience. 

Cory McAbee is a writer, director, singer, songwriter, musician, actor, animator and illustrator. His music and films have won awards worldwide. He has developed and directed an eight-year global collaborative which concluded with the completion of a feature film. He has documented the birth of monarch butterflies, participated in collecting migration data and has traveled with the monarch butterfly migration from Chicago IL. to El Rosario, Michoacan Mexico.
