It was a fairly pleasant start to the day at 76 degrees. But at 10am the wind turned from the south to the northwest and the temp dropped to 65. Then by the afternoon it rewarmed up to 72. And the wind was windy all day. Adapting national parks for wheelchair hiking Keep looking! The…

Life and death

Life and death

Life and death, you can not have one without the other. A longtime ago, a wildlife biologist told me that the worse thing that came out of television/movies was “Bambi”. It forever has shaped the way people thought about nature in unrealistic way. My hope is that people today will change that attitude. There are…
