Hi Ed and John! Was just looking on the KATY trail website and they said to use caution mile marker 178.3 to 169.5 due to the Pedaler’s Jamboree event May 26-28. Hee haw! Looks like you’re going right through it.
1 year agoHi Sandy. Though I did not have the time to get to Lummi Island, I just, two days ago, rode from B’Ham to Lummi on a gorgeous but windy day. I did ride to the island once, but so long ago I have little to no recollection of what it is like to ride. Might have to do that again ;’-).
1 year agoI too enjoy bridges so am always glad to see the photos. Interesting story about Daniel Boone, and the Jeffersonian Grid - though I understand only part of that! Boone leaving the country to then be surprisingly brought back to the country he left must have been upsetting to him!

1 year agoWe have them in our gardens on Lummi island WA- very invasive and impossible to eradicate from the garden. Not your usual cute morning glory!
1 year agoThe whole country is plastered with that fluff!
1 year agoWe call them morning glories. Don't they have stickers? They were common where I grew up.

By the way, the fuzzy big leaves are mullein, aka "backpacker's TP" and it is good for that use!

I agree. Never stop on an uphill or a fast downhill.
I’m enjoying your journal - you guys are my scouts!
The pain is real! First a town with no coffee shop - whoever heard of that?? Then a tepid cup of hot drink! I definitely feel your pain as I am a tea drinker and it is often unreasonably difficult to find a hot tea in some places, and when you can, it is often ….. tepid! I want HOT tea thank you.
1 year agoIf the coffee isn’t scalding, I don’t want it. Okay, I still want it but I’ll be a chimahusky and complain about it as I drink it 😂😂
1 year agowhat a jokester!
1 year agoDo you want to move to Osceloa, Iowa? I have friends with a similar house for sale. It's a labor of love to own an old Victorian.

Bill, I really like that there is someone out there following us who can identify these plants. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Are you strictly bot-wise or can you identify on the zoo-side too?
