Without delay, we continued on with our adventure! Finally, I hope everyone survived the storm last night without any damage. So all we got was a 40mph wind gust (thank goodness) and .06″ of rain. New images offer rare glimpse of the DMZ between North and South Korea where wild animals find peace and flourish…
Turning at the small grotto, I worked my way along the east hillside above the ravine. This was one I wanted to watch for a moment, the Spotted Cucumber Beetle (Diabrotica undecimpunctata).
