Alright team, I'm consolidating accounts so I actually have the motivation to post literally anything lol, find me over at @thatgoatdork.bsky.social

Suddenly, the memory surges back to the bar last night. Alone, yet surrounded by strangers, idly sipping at your third or fourth beer that was just tolerable enough. You watched Family Feud on mute, playing in reverse as you tried to deduce what the question was. What a weirdo.

Irresistible nibble 💖

Fox Ridge State Park, Illinois, 2019.

Once inhabited by early Piankashaw tribes, the area was settled by Europeans on the banks of the Embarras river, a major trade line before the railroad.

In the late 1930s, Illinois acquired the land and dedicated it as a state park, creating a lake with a dam.

Macoupin County, Illinois, summer of 2019.

Macoupin County is best known for its location on Route 66. The seat of government, the Carlinville Courthouse, has its own history as well: opened in 1870, the $1.3m (over $23m today) building was the largest courthouse in the country at the time.

Alrighty, let's get some content going 👀

I'm mostly gonna be posting a backlog of nice scenes from my travels these last few years, interspersed with whatever's fun that day. Feel free to stick around and enjoy this geeky goat 🐐

First up, Sierra Vista and Fort Huachuca, Arizona, 2019
