It turns out that the Titusville/Canaveral (i.e. Space Coast) area of Florida is going to be on my regular destination list now since I have some wonderful friends who live there and who are always ready to have me come visit.

I’m on my way to Texas with my clan (Shanna, John, and Bill). So far we’ve birded at the Bear River Refuge, shopped at rock shops, drove and walked around Mesa Verde National Park and spent a lot of time on the road.
