Flagstaff Dec 7 & 8


I spent an entire weekend at the library downloading and sorting my photos.  It was nice to just chill and get things caught up on.  I started updating the blog but didn’t get as caught up as I wanted too.  Early to bed, lots of sleep and lots of computer work all done.

  1-10-2021 Corona Cases       21,217,244 Corona Deaths    354,491        1-16-2021 Corona Cases       22,445,517 Corona Deaths    374,825   Interesting things we did this week Sunday I did the Disney Marathon Weekend 10k, and I admit, I kind like doing the Half first and the 10K second.  I averaged at 21:14 minute mile, which wasn’t as good as yesterday, but I was still a little tired and the difference was minimal. Sunday afternoon, Bree and I went to a park in Lakeland.  I haven’t been on a hiking walk for a while, I’ve been very focused on getting in miles and making good times.  We went to the Circle B Bar Reserve.  This is a fantastic park.  People were out in droves.  Walkers, bikers and photographers.  There were some pretty impressive camera set ups there.  I got a bunch of shots: bald eagles, osprey, red sho...

Sept 27 Coronavirus US CASES 6,980,115 Coronavirus DEATHS 192,761     Oct 3      Coronavirus US CASES 7,234,219 Coronavirus DEATHS 197,206     Gil’s Birthday Celebration continued through Sunday.  We started out doing a liter clean up at Sawgrass, I’d signed up a month previous and I decided it might be a fun additional to the rest of the activities.  The liter cleanup was joined by Lisa and Chris and Carla.  It didn’t go as smoothly as I’d hoped.  I had received a message from the park ranger that the canal at the front of the park was a high liter area.  They had something called a water goat in the canal and it prevents the liter from floating down stream.  It was a good collection of trash but unfortunately much of it was out of reach.  We had liter pickers and a net and this was helpful, but it still left a lot of liter.  We talked about getting a boat but launching i...

Route 66 - Day 3 - Oct 11, 2019

Woke up after a great nights sleep in the Lincoln Walmart parking lot.  I love Walmarts that cater to those boondocking and I always try to spend my dollars t here when I can.  Hit the road early and started marking things off my list.  The Route 66 Ultimate Guide is a pretty good guide.  Its not perfect, I've missed some things I wanted to see because I assumed they would be included, but unfortunately they are not.  I'm trying to be more conscience now and double checking things.  I started in Lincoln and ended the day close to the Illinois/Missouri border.  I didn't want to cross as I wanted to hike the old Chain of Rocks bridge in the daylight.  The walmarts in the area didn't offer overnight parking, so I backtracked for a few miles and spent the night at a rest area on I-44. Highlights: Springfield, IL - This town really embraces their connection to Lincoln and its obvious around every turn.  Lincoln statues, Lincoln Scultptures, Li...
