Bloomscroll from Rocky Mountain NP: Nodding Thistle (Carduus nutans) Talk about resilience! A single plant produces 1000s of seeds that can travel +350 ft, & remain viable in the soil for 10+ yrs! #findjoy #roadtrip #bloomscrolling #gardening #flowers #RMNP #nationalparks #ParkChat #photography

Route 66 Missouri: Ted Drewes Frozen Custard since 1929 (2 locations in St Louis). Famous for their “Concretes” (pre-designed mix-ins). I was excited to compare them to Culver’s (since 1984. 1,000 stores, 26 states w/customized options). For me, no contest. Ted Wins!!

Hop off the ferry and into the tranquility of Bloedel Reserve. 140 acres with 23 different landscapes. Trails, ponds, & gardens. Each season is a new experience. Take a walk, meditate, write, paint, view wildlife, take photos. It’s the perfect place to get inspired! #findjoy

The magnificent Sierra Juniper. Twisted & gnarled, growing out of cracks in rocks. Their seeds have the best chance to germinate if they’re first digested by birds! Mother Nature never ceases to amaze. #NatParkGeek #NationalParks #findjoy #roadtrip #ParkChat #YosemiteNP #OlmsteadPoint #saveourparks

Route 66 Missouri: Fantastic Caverns. A 55min drive-thru cave tour.The only one in the U.S.! Great for kids & folks w/mobility challenges. Much easier than walking cave tours, and a cool 60 degrees. #1 tourist attraction in Springfield .

#Stunday view brought to you by Mount Olympus - the highest peak in the Olympic Mountains inside Olympic National Park. My thoughts are with firefighters battling the Bear Gulch fire. 4,500 acres burning, including Staircase. #PNW #NationalParks #Washington #sunset #findjoy#artyear #photography

It was a rainy/overcast morning but seeing Wheeler Peak at Great Basin National Park was still terrific. The scenic drive spans 12 miles and climbs to over 10,000ft - full of trails, creeks, desert & valley views. #NatParkGeek #NationalParks #findjoy #roadtrip #ParkChat #GreatBasinNP #saveourparks

Route 66 Missouri: You can’t miss the signs for Uranus, MO (yep you read that right) shock humor abounds in this town. I stopped to check another Muffler Man off my list. Happy to get this one - a 2024 storm decapitated him! #route66 #Missouri #roadtrip #findjoy #MotherRoad #MufflerMen #getyourkicks

Joshua Trees (yucca plant) are native to SW U.S. and grow mainly in the Mojave Desert or within a few miles of its boundaries - nowhere else in the world! They live avg 150yrs. There’s 850,000 in the National Park. #NatParkGeek #NationalParks #findjoy #roadtrip #ParkChat #JoshuaTreeNP #saveourparks

Route 66 Missouri: The famous Gay Parita Station in Paris Springs. A great place for a rest stop. Friendly owners, fun artifacts, cold drinks, & a covered porch. FUN FACT: featured in Chappell Roan’s 2024 “Hot to Go” video! #route66 #Missouri #roadtrip #findjoy #MotherRoad #getyourkicks #Americana
