👋🏻👋🏻 Hi!!
1 year agoSee my comment on yesterday’s post about what vacations were like growing up with a geologist for a father… 🙃
1 year agoHi Jane!!
1 year agoFor all the uninformed, this is what every summer vacation road trip was like with my father: describing and discerning the genesis of rocks and rock formations. Admittedly at a faster speed, so much less mind melding. But I know a lot about rocks as a result! Which is helpful in explaining Hawaii to visitors…
1 year agoI know, that’s why I put all the comments in about it.🤣☢️

1 year agoA few years ago I had scheduled to ride the Katy with road Scholar tour. I got to St. Louis and spent time with relatives, the second day I was there - the day before the ride was to start - I got a message back at home in Seattle, the ride was canceled due to flooding in too many places along the trail. A bit of a late notice! Since then I have read more about the Katy, and feel much as John describes it as boring for a long ride, dusty and tiresome. So am not sorry to have missed it. But am virtually enjoying your ride with you ;’)
1 year agoWe have a rest day in Jefferson City on the 28th. We will not be riding that section of the trail until the 29th so the riders shouldn’t impact us or vice versa.
1 year agoDoes that mean we need to dye them to match?
1 year agoCan't be absolutely sure without closeup with more detail of flowers and leaves, but it looks like poison hemlock.

Actually, my degree is in Zoology. Herpetology is my biggest interest, but I am no expert. Many things I ID on sight then look up a good internet link, but most I have a general idea based on my background, and can therefore more easily look up nature IDs than most folks.
So, to answer your question directly, yes!
I would have to give the Trail Angel(s) award to Charlie and Chris for this part of the tour. Bed, food, showers AND music playing & singing at the church! You got it all.
