Me not so much, but Dave and Phil are about bent in half.

Spring Break With AnnaLeigh, Green Springs Park, 13 March, 2025. (13 Pics)
A good time, until the bugs found us. They were relentless after that. Never visit Florida without a trunk full of bug spray, and trip's over when you run out. She distinctly told me "not" to cross the fence. I told her, "If they were serous, there would be a sign." : ) I was going to climb out onto the tree, but her noises drew a crowd of people worried about the "old guy" in danger. Way to go for the ego, kiddo.

Sedona, hiking, Ants and Spiders. Sept 2024. (4 Pics)
I found a huge ant colony, stretching further than I could see. The individual mounds were connected by cleared areas that served as highways for the workers. Some sort of spider had built a web bridging across the top of the highway in places, where it could reach down and scoop a meal at will. Small lizards patrolled the ant highways, on the lookout for an easy meal.

Crane heritage site. South of Sedona, this location was both a history and a calendar. September 7, 2024 (13 Pics)
Off the beaten path, but easy to get to. Check the hours before you go, it gets locked up because there's something wrong with half the population. If you only have time for one site, this one ranks high.

That Feeling when your Dad takes his pants off in public and looks confused about what he did wrong. Next year, light wetsuits. 1mm should be enough.

Sedona by Jeep, various locations. September, 2024 (5 Pics)
I had taken a walk down a trail further than I should have while recovering from surgery. The walk back up was a struggle with pain. An older couple stopped to see if I needed help, I told them, "No I'm fine, just limping back up to the car, now. I promised my wife I wouldn't do anything stupid while I'm recovering from surgery." The man just looked at me and said, "heh, and yet here you are." His wife swatted him with a muttered, "Tom!" He was right, though. : )

Dinosaur National Monument with Leanna and AnnaLeigh. June 19, 2023 (12 Pics)
This whole area was once the bottom of a river. The river is long gone, and the riverbed itself has been raised and tilted to nearly 45degrees, exposing fossils to curious mammals. I looked up, and they had both had enough....
