Redwood National Park added a mile of trail under old growth California coastal redwoods, so I had to go and see these new trees. Bonus getting to look around 'O Rew Redwoods Gateway.

Every day, this administration comes up with new ways to destroy the environment. Now the US Forest Service is allowing motorized vehicles on all trails, and off trail, if, you know, you need to. Think of the wildfires from stray sparks, disruption to plants and wildlife, and disruption to the peaceful enjoyment of nature. These guys are the epitome of evil.

Green Mountain
Gunnison National Forest, COI don't think they were being ironic. There are volumes of green clay on those barren slopes. Many abandoned mines down through the valley.

Twenty-Five Dollars and a Signature
The mark is called a freeze brand. Liquid nitrogen chills an iron until the cold kills the color in the hair, and the government writes a registration code in white along the left side of the neck of every wild horse it removes from the range. The brand exists so that a mustang can be identified as a protected animal of the United States for the rest of its life, at any distance, in any light. In August of 2026, the place where you can read those white characters most clearly is the dirt lot of a livestock auction yard, on horses standing quietly beside the trucks that run south.

White Canyon

Part of White Canyon in Bears Ears National Moument, UT. You can see the bears ears on the horizon, dark on this rainy day. This is downstream from, and outside the boundary of, Natural Bridges National Park.
*at least it was part of Bears Ears NM. May still be, but haven't studied the new, sad boundaries, yet.

Rio Grande and Ute Mountain
Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, NMSomething different this time for #SaturdayScenery This is a "still" from a full 360º aerial panorama that can be viewed here: https://kuula.co/post/5Jvxm
You have to view the pano to actually see Ute Mountain and look along the gorge. If I get positive feedback I will do this again on Saturdays. If not... oh, well.

We headed out for a bunch of little hikes among the peaks of the Lassics, which tend to feature in the minds of the outdoorsy locals because they can be seen from so many places.

There were hints that it might be a grand time to view Rhododendrons, so Rhododendrons were viewed. Other flowers were about, too.

The birds at the reservoirs of Wayne E. Kirch Wildlife Management Area can be a little distant, and even then scrambling away further. I had a loop hike on the roads and trails. (They do exist.)

A little #thread about two subjects near and dear to me: #Bioregional #Planning, and #PublicLands
First off, to understand what’s going on with #demographic #migrant #trends in the #usa I’d encourage everyone to read “The Great Displacement: #ClimateChange and the Next #American Migration,” by Jake Bittle. Check the #map below to orient yourself to the #issue.
