Just finished it! I looked up the reviews afterward, and I can’t believe the low rating! I found it eye opening (& not) and real (& not) and quirky (& not) and fun (& not). I thought it was sweeping, embracing, and beautiful. Might be one of my favs on the eccentric but wonderful scale.

Every time we have a substantial snow forecasted and I have time off work, I try to make it into the Icebox to capture shots of the snow falling through the crack in the cave's ceiling. Today was finally a successful attempt. Bonus shot of the park's eponymous rock bridge. Love this place.

Looking forward to testing out this new treatment of the Eryngium integrifolium complex this field season. Would be interested in other's opinions on how well some of these new species concepts shake out, especially in the southern Blue Ridge.

The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.
