Ruth joins us from her old job at one of the National Parks; here she is showing Rochester around when we came to pick her up on the #WildRepublicRoadTrip.

Here's Archy in her onboarding meeting with Rochester, Alphonse, and Melora (who she'll be working with closely).

...and the giant sequoias in Calaveras Big Trees State Park! #WildRepublicRoadTrip

I got to try an extraterrestrial beverage! —qxz #WildRepublicRoadTrip

...and Marietta and I took in the sights on the Extraterrestrial Highway! #WildRepublicRoadTrip

Barry was excited to join in when he heard there was a rock formation called the "Parade of Elephants"; he said he was pleased by the recognition. #WildRepublicRoadTrip

And later in the day on Monday, Rochester saw the sights in downtown Cheyenne, Wyoming! #WildRepublicRoadTrip

And of course the high point of the #WildRepublicRoadTrip so far was a visit to Carhenge—a sacred space indeed!

And on Monday, he got to visit two historic rock formations in Nebraska—the Courthouse and Jail Rocks, and the famous Chimney Rock! He also enjoyed the museum at the Chimney Rock visitor center. #WildRepublicRoadTrip

Outside the museum, Marietta and I admire the USS Riverside. #WildRepublicRoadTrip —qxz
