Another year gone by and time for the obligatory "Top Ten" post. Since 2015 was the first full year I spent on the road, it's a pretty amazing variety. From Arizona to Washington and many places in between. It was tougher to narrow it down to ten this year, probably...

A disturbing development for nature lovers
-UPDATE- Good news today! (12/17/2015) The LWCF has been authorized for three more years. This is a good start. Hopefully, permanent authorization and funding will follow. I normally avoid political topics on this blog because we all have our own beliefs and...
