On This Day
#SilentSunday #opcOnThisDay in 2019
#WildlifeWednesday from #opcOnThisDay in 2022, a visit to what is now called White Horse Hill National Game Preserve in North Dakota.
I visited because it used to be called Sullys Hill National Park, and well, I have a quest to visit all “former” (decommissioned or transferred) National Park units in the US (because of course I do).

#opcOnThisDay in 2017, I was lucky to coincide my visit to Pullman National Historical Park (at the time, a newly designated national monument) with Labor Day, which is cool given its infamous role in labor organizing.

It's not hard to find a Lincoln statue near Springfield, Illinois. Here are four that I ran across #opcOnThisDay in 2012.
Another monsoon storm blocked my weekly evening paddle down the river. Damn, I need to get back out there. Here’s an early morning view of the river—kayaker included—from OTD in 2020.

📷 One of my favorite parts of visiting London last year was touring the Churchill War Rooms. Seems nearly comical that they were conducting the war by using push pins in a wall map. How times have changed. OTD 2023
📷 Look up. OTD in 2023
Along the Glenn Highway, Alaska - OTD 2018
Arizona has some interesting place names, and the town of Show Low in the White Mountains has one of the best naming stories around. OTD in 2020.
The especially little part of the Little Colorado River. OTD in 2020
I visited an unexpected memorial OTD in 2008—that you’d expect in Washington DC, not along the Indiana/Illinois border.
OTD in 2019, we landed a bush plane in between 3 active wildfires in the remote Coal Creek area of Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve in eastern Alaska. I really need to blog about this whole episode—one of my fav adventure stories—but a smoky photo of the Yukon River will have to do for today.
