Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
Spring is nearly here and so we must say goodbye to cold days and long nights. We don’t get much snow or ice where I’m from, but the days do get gray. Despite this dreariness there is beauty and long quiet days. Stop for a moment and just relax, breath in the last of winter’s
I know, I talked about Kansas last week and immediately turned around and talked about a different state. This trail is a couple hours drive from where we stayed in Kansas and I have been wanting to hike Black Mesa for a while. Black Mesa Summit is the highest point in the state of Oklahoma
Keltin is from Kansas and so we visit fairly frequently. I’ve fallen in love with exploring the Sunflower state and the interesting things in the states close to the southwest corner of Kansas. This whole Kansas series is going to be a bit nerdy. I mean nerdy as in history and fossils. A bit of
This is a video I have been thinking about for a while. I don’t discuss gardening much on this blog but I do think that it is something important. I do have a garden and I’m working on more – including doing prep work over the winter. I will admit that I am behind on
I don’t talk about it much but I really love science. My love mostly revolves around fossils and space. Way back in 2019 I was looking up things to do locally and found out about the Monning Meteorite Gallery at TUC. And then 2020 happened and the gallery closed. I don’t know when exactly it

Way back in 2019 and early 2020 I started a series called on here called Close to Home to encourage myself and others to visit those places that are near where we live but have never visited. I have visited the places in the below video before but there is one thing to telling people
Well for the third year in a row Texas got a week in the snow. Well, that’s not quite true. It might have been snow at first but in reality after a lite thaw and refreeze everything was just ice. We slid in our yard. Now that we have had this weather 3 years in
This was a forgotten post. Back in August, I sprained my ankle bad enough to be on crutches and in a brace. Two weeks later, we went to visit friends in Amarillo for a trip we had already planned. Thankfully I was off the crutches but I was still in a brace and hobbling around
