Slope around the tennis courts. The eucalyptus tree is gone. The bee tree is gone. I would like to add earlier this were, a dead owl was found there. That can be traced back to herbicides. All the actual improvements people want are in phase two of the project which will cost 20 million. In a blog by tony holiday who was a trekker who came back to Glen Canyon Park says the park is depressing to look at when one is used to looking at a uniquely wild park. I loved them. Im starting to avoid them. It feels like the suburbs. When you are used to looking at a uniquely wild park over the years. People should know better who go through such extremes with their park improvements. I liked it when it was over grown and hidden. Changed my mind by thinking of would be cool if trails were cleared out because those dont know when to quit. No tree they are spending taxpayers money on the wrong things. So far im not impressed with the socalled improvements in the canyon. At least there are trees on th

Layed with 20 tons of goods and equipped with ors, sand and tow ropes the party left from winter camp on april 21, 1811 with sails set in a favorable wind. They hoped to reach the pacific in late summer or autumn. The second passage i am reading takes place as they are going up the river from their winter camp which was about 400 miles up river from st. Louis. And as i mentioned, they were to follow the lewis and clark trail that is going up the missouri, over the rockies and down the columbia. Thaws went up the missouri, the father they went the worse the stories got about the indians at the head water. The overland leader was a young new Jersey Business man named wilson price hunt who was known as a nice guy, serious minded, conscious, and liked to lead by c concensus but he had never been in the wilderness before.
