I dropped the ball on our progress toward @aspbofficial.bsky.social Plant Biology 26. Since our last update, we’ve spent 15 days exploring NPS sites & state parks, catching up with friends & family, visiting state 50 for the boys, hiking in Acadia NP, and visiting Quebec.

The road to @aspbofficial.bsky.social #plantbiology26 has begun! Day 1: VA - WV - VA - MD. 2 hikes in 2 different VA state parks, and a visit to Harper’s Ferry NHS. We earned our Junior ranger badges while sweating buckets in a heat advisory!
