Most #ants fight for territory, but some ants are known to form super-colonies where multiple nests work together, share food, allow free passage between nests, and defend each other. Scientists also note that super-colonies have never implemented tarrifs on their allies.

How do you find calm during the storm?

My best climbs are when I'm 100% in the moment. Everything else fades away, and it's just me and the rock.

Do you know that feeling of the perfect powder run or how quiet the world seems while enjoying views from the summit?

Indian Creek is arguably the best crack climbing in the world.

The cracks are so splitter that you have to get a group of friends together to pool climbing gear because most people don't have a full rack of the same piece.

What is your favorite trad area?

Workout woes got you down? Introducing F.I.I.T. #workouts the new #exercise craze sweeping the nation.

Our Flower Identification Interval Training is easier than ever. Simply stop to identify a #flower, take a picture, run up the trail to catch up to your significant other and repeat. 🤣

I'm usually pretty good about giving wildlife their distance, but this guy decided he needed to come say hi up close and personal.

I was very happy that he decided not to headbutt my car.

Would you jump in this alpine lake?

It's official! I have more followers on #Bluesky than I did in the bad place.

True, I didn't really post much over at the bad place, but I'll take a win when I can find it.

In Hamlet, Ophelia gives columbines to King Claudius and Queen Gertrude to represent the foolishness of their their adulterous relationship.

Is there anything better in life than an alpine lake in summer?

What I loved most about backpacking in Montana was having epic mountain trails all to myself. The thing I loved the least was carrying bear spray and worrying about grizzly bears.

You can't climb on sandstone for 24-48 hours or more after rainfall. 🌦 For that reason, most of my trips to Arches and Canyonlands have been during storms. It's a great way to avoid the crowds and have the place to yourself! Usually, there's a line of people for this shot.

Yosemite backpacking, it is so choice. If you have the means I highly recommend picking up a permit.

Note to self: Get on top of more big rocks this year.

Cragging is very fun, but I need more multipitch in my life.

Cactus flowers have a special place in my heart. It might be because they are a little more rare. It could be the juxtaposition of beauty and danger, or it might just be because I grew up in the desert.

Outdoor activities are even better when you have a happy dog running beside you! She's in this picture somewhere. Let me know if you can find her.

⛈️Weather moves quickly in the Rocky Mountains.⛺️ We've had to race the afternoon thunderstorms to our campsite a number of times. 📖 Now I have a Kobo so I can read a book while I wait out the rain. Looking forward to summer!

Showy Jacob's Ladder Flower.

When I'm backpacking I usually take photos of flowers I can't find in my pocket guide and then identify them later. Is that something y'all are into here on Bluesky?

When I first started camping, I slept on an egg crate sleeping pad. I thought getting a blow-up sleeping pad was a huge upgrade. Driving to beautiful places like this with a full mattress and a rooftop tent feels like cheating, and I love it!

Dear fellow mouth-breathers, I recently infiltrated the nose-breathers.

Here is my intel: Nose-breathers have superior smelling technology (this is both a blessing and a curse) they have advanced relaxation tactics, they have mouth dryness counter-intelligence strategies.

I can't believe it's already been 6 years since the first time I went snowshoeing! This was from our Yellowstone trip when we were stomping around Lamar Valley. BTW snowshoeing is vastly superior to post-holing for anyone wondering.

All the recent snow has me stoked for XC skiing. Can't wait to get out there!
