Crumbling stone structure under the Milky Way

Crumbling stone structure under the Milky Way

I took a little road trip that brought me through Marble Canyon Arizona this week. I had been there before, but it was the wrong time of year. Glad to add this one to the collection.

I've really been enjoying fitness apps in VR/MR much more than I thought I would. Living in an RV, this is so great. Do any of you work out with virtual reality?

I tested a bunch out and decided to go with FitXR for a while, and I like it a lot. What are you using?

This is Wide Hollow in Escalante Utah. I love me a starry starry night.

I'm trying to eat more yogurt but I'm too cheap to pay for it. That's SO MUCH yogurt.

Very cool. I never got into CB, but HAM has been a lot of quality nerdery. The tech test is pretty easy. They aren’t really trying to trip you up.

I've seen more military helicopters flying low, but border patrol seems consistent. They're always around.

I live in the southern end of the Continental Divide. I'm a white male, but I don't run into a ton of maga hats or racists.

It's that time again. Year after year, I never tire of the dark night sky. This is an abandoned ghost town in New Mexico.
