Bad Knees Travel,

I was never especially enamored of deserts until I started going to Tuscon every year to do a show. Seeing the same place over and over. Now I find myself entranced by the subtle beauty here. January, February, March. Those are the months to visit the desert.  I don't think I would enjoy July or August. As I drive through I can see the areas where rain has been a recent visitor. There is a dusting of green as plants open out for a week or so.  The flowers in the desert have to be sought out, but when you find them you they are so amazing. In the desert there are no trees to hide the mountains.  You can see their bones, tell their history in their form.

Strata, parallel layers in the rock, speak of time under the sea, building with silt and sand, and compressing to rock. People live differently in the dese

IZI Travel After several false starts, I have settled on IZI travel  https://izi.travel/en  In my previous post I have discussed some of the good and bad points of this site/app but overall I think it will work. It is free. I have seen no reports of spam, viruses, or other icky stuff associated with this app. And it is not a power hog.

Create a profile. (Here is one of those glitches.  Now that I am signed up, I can't see what it looked like before a profile is created.) Second Step Download the a

Today's Blog is for those that are helping me do this thing, or those just interested in the process of how to do all of this. If you are just interested in the walks, please skip to the next post. After weeks of tearing my hair out and wrestling electrons I have completed enough of my first tour to share it with you, albeit as a work in progress. West County Train, Forestville . Also my first "Museum" Rural Cemetery. The idea behind this whole blog is that it is for people that are marginal tech users, so I will need to create some detailed instructionals to fill in for those that are not fluent in speaking technobable. This is a learning process for me as well, so please please please let me know if you find stumbling blocks or vast canyons in my directions. I know I promised not to flood you inbox with a bunch of stuff, so I am splitting this post into two separate posts to make it possible to to skip this bit of rambling from the actual instructional on how to
