The stunning geology of the north shore is hard to ignore! So, my beach walking has led me to a rock collecting hobby, in order to learn more about the brilliant colors & textures along the shoreline. I’m interested in finding pipe vesicles, which form at the base of a lava flow. It’s kind of […]

Today, we visited a recreation area and tackled a number of sites!

I started on the next locale today, in this lovely scientific & natural area! I think the KT tape helped, but my waterlogged feet meant that it peeled right off with my socks at the end of the morning. I’ll have to up my game by investing in the “extreme” kind with the swimmer on […]

I didn’t survey this morning, but sadly awoke to deer tick bite #3! This one I’m the most worried about: did I track it in? I’m especially paranoid about it because I remember having a scab there; was it a deer tick I overlooked? I have the least certainty about how long this one was […]

I finished all of the points in Whitewater Wildlife Management Area (WMA) today! I wore my compression socks, but maybe I should have paid more attention to my feet yesterday: by the end of the day, I couldn’t stand on them. I had “pins and needles” in the bottom of my feet, which were especially […]

Today was a unique challenge to get to a number of points: I had to find my way down a ravine, pick my way down a dry stream bed, and climb up a bluff to get to the last points in the series. I should have been wearing my compression socks, because it did my […]
