We went bowfishing in Fort Walton Beach Florida and got to shoot a stingray! It's not the usual carp or gar!

We saw a huge Horseshoe Crab walking in the bay near Fort Walton Beach Florida. They're famous for blue blood and having a big shell over their entire body. Cool creature! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_crab

It's just some casual wave riding on the boogie boards.

The dragon teeth are part of Germany's World War II Siegfried Line and can be found in a few places in the western part of the country. This one was near Lambsborn and next to a pasture and trail. It was easy to get to and only required about a 10-minute walk. There are about 50 meters of the dragon teeth and the rest has been razed and returned to nature. If you're looking for a fun day to get out and see some history near the #kmc this is an easy spot to explore!

Just a day biking around Kaiserslautern Germany! I love it!

Got to see the 2024 eclipse and it was great! It was my second one so I guess I'm officially an "eclipse chaser"! You can really see Jupiter to the top and Venus to the left of the eclipse!

I went to Garden of the Gods in Shawnee National Forest while I was home visiting. It's a gorgeous area and the start of one of the wilderness areas for the national forest. There are a few trails in the area. The main allure is the camel rock area. You can climb all over the tops of the rocks. Be careful because people do fall off each year. You can see the forest from the high cliffs and there are boulders to climb on! Happy trekking! Read more at: https://campingandtrekking.com/garden-of-the-gods-illinois/

It was amazing!

I went to Rim Rock National Recreation Trail in Shawnee National Forest Illinois. The hiking is wonderful out there and Shawnee is a great national forest that not many people know about! It's also near Evansville Indiana. This is a great day trip for anyone in the region with lots of hiking and exploring!

We went for a Garmisch walk while we were staying at Edelweiss Lodge. It was a blast!

The sky in Germany!
