Oh, and Victoria Falls on the mighty Zambezi; easy to see why they always call it mighty!

I can die happy: saw a herd of elephants on the Okavango. Photos still to be processed. Meantime here’s a shot of elephants coming to drink at the Elephant Sands in Botswana. Elephants everywhere around here!

The view from the top of the Eiffel Tower yesterday. I was here 51 years ago wandering Europe for the summer but too cheap to pay to go to the top; finally made it!

Looks like another record low water year for Lake Powell, on par with 2022 when the lowest water level since filling in 1964 was reached. The "emerging splendor" (Schmidt et al. 2020) of Glen Canyon will continue; time to get out this summer to see Cathedral in the Desert again!

NOAA Colorado River Basin Forecast Center, 2025 water supply forecast for Lake Powell, as of March 6, showing a well-below average accumulation for the 2025 water year.

Just received this in the mail yesterday, new collection of stories about the Jemez Mtns, New Mexico, by my good friend @firescar.bsky.social! Very much looking forward to a nice break from doomscrolling to read this!

Just back last week from 30 days rafting the Grand Canyon to all this fuckery; want to go back badly. Can't wait to see how our retirement fund does this week...

Reminds me of the old Ed Abbey quote. Plus I leave xmas day for my annual 30-day Grand Canyon raft trip; places we love and people we love.

On Bluesky for just a few days now and looking for anyone else interested in Grand Canyon rafting, haven't found anything in search. Leaving for my 10th trip (30 days to Pearce Ferry) in just over a month. I'm a bit addicted to the trip and the place...
