Marking Time

        We have pretty much settled here in Montana for the time being until the Canadian border opens and we can continue our plan to drive to Alaska. Our path to this point took us through several states that we were honestly not planning on spending much time in. When we got back to Texas we then spent time in Mississippi that we had already planned on but by then things were already crazy and everything shut down. From Mississippi we went into Alabama, then back to Mississippi, north to Tennessee and into Arkansas and then Missouri. Recently we spent time in Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota. We had previously passed on a few of these states our first time through last summer but with things the way they are we have been forced to slow down.         Actually I am really glad we spent time in those places we would not normally have gone to. We do miss the museums and learning centers, but having to look elsewhere for things to do has taken us on some interesting trails, parks and points of interest. John was hoping to get in some skydives along the way but of course all drop zones are shut down. He was able to get his reserve repacked in Missouri and the “Rigger” who did it turned out to be a nice guy we enjoyed talking with. In Kansas we went to the Eisenhower Museum and even though it was closed we could walk around the grounds and see the statues. There are also a lot of old restored mansions in Kansas and we took a look at them from the outside.         We blasted through Nebraska, spending one night in Lincoln. We also moved through South Dakota pretty quickly since we had previously spent a lot of time there, but slowed down once we got to North Dakota. Driving through North Dakota the landscape changed dramatically, from somewhat boring brown rolling hills to the stellar “Badlands” erosion phenomenon that had us stopping frequently to ohhh and ahhh at the natural beauty. The Theodore Roosevelt National Park had many magnificent views with lots of hiking trails and scenic overlooks. There were herds of Buffalo, Prairie Dog Towns, roaming Pronghorns and an assortment of birds.         We stayed four days in Fargo and visited the Aircraft Museum there the second day it was open. They were thrilled to have us and we were able to watch some restoration work being done on one of the planes. We watched the movie “Fargo��� in honor of being there, even though the movie actually takes place in Brainerd, Minnesota. But at least now I can say I’ve been to Fargo (and even saw the FargoDome). The old town of Jamestown was a cultural experience and the campground we stayed in there was quite rustic where the locals looked at you thinking “you’re not from around these parts, are you?”. The Enchanted Highway is a 32 mile stretch of 2 lane highway that has large metal sculptures placed along the roadway that can be seen from miles away. This is out in the middle of nowhere and originated to save the dying towns in the area and have people come to look.         Even though it feels like we have been Marking Time (marching in place), in retrospect we have managed to get around quite a bit, see things we hadn’t planned on and still stayed active hiking and being outdoors.

It was an honor to have 4 of my landscape photographs selected to be exhibited at The Museum of Western Film History in Lone Pine, CA in celebration of the awarding of the Federal designation of the Alabama Hills as a “National Scenic Area”. While this may not sound super impressive it took the hard work and dedication of the people of the Lone Pine area and the BLM ten years to achieve this milestone and gives substantial protections to the heart of Alabama Hills for generations to come. - Photographed by such venerable photographers as Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, the Alabama Hills is an incredible place with a rugged beauty that (for me anyway) is incredibly difficult to truly accurately share in a photograph. If you have an opportunity I highly recommend that you take the time to visit this beautiful place and experience it for yourself. What made this experience even more incredible was that for the ribbon cutting ceremony there was a family of Native Americans there who’s family were some of the original residents of the Alabama Hills area who had been a part of this effort to achieve this designation as well as share a part of their beautiful culture at the ceremony. At one point a beautiful Native American woman sang a traditional song in her native tongue while we were in the Hills and the sun was beginning to set behind the surrounding mountains. I do have to say that this was one of the most beautiful moments that I have ever experienced and a memory that I will never forget. I didn’t take any photos when she was singing both out of respect to her performance and also because I just wanted to experience that moment, in person, as fully as possible. - CONTINUED IN COMMENTS (at Alabama Hills, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3uhYkKnR7h/?igshid=1vmtn5qlosytc

Excerpt from this SB Sun article:

Republicans and Democrats disagree on a lot of issues, but protecting deserts in Southern California doesn’t seem to be one of them.

Legislation was introduced this month in both chambers of Congress, by members of both major parties, with the goal of protecting 716,000 acres of regional desert, adding a swath nearly as big as Rhode Island to regional land that’s already under protection. New protected zones would include off-highway vehicle recreation areas and wilderness, and an expansion of several National Parks.

The identical bills, sponsored by Rep. Paul Cook, R-Yucca Valley, in the House of Representatives and California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, in the Senate, are the result of years of work with the off-roading community, conservationists and local governments. For different reasons, all of those interests want to see the protections in place.

Cook’s bill has the support of Democrat Reps Pete Aguilar, D-Redlands, Juan Vargas, D-Imperial Valley and Raul Ruiz, D-La Quinta. Feinstein’s bill is co-sponsored by fellow California Sen. Kamala Harris.

The legislation on the table would designate six Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation Areas including: Johnson Valley, Sprangler Hills, El Mirage, Rasor, Dumont Dunes and Stoddard Valley. This would be a win for off-highway vehicle users, as it would ensure permanent access to more than 300,000 acres in the desert for recreation.

In addition to the off-road areas, the bills aim to protect more than 375,500 acres of wilderness area. This includes 280,360 acres that would be protected by the creation of eight new Bureau of Land Management wilderness areas in the region. Death Valley National Park Wilderness would grow by 88,000 acres, while the San Gorgonio Wilderness in the San Bernardino National Forest would gain 7,141 acres.The areas are home to bighorn sheep, desert tortoises and some endangered species, and they include Native American cultural sites.

The bills also would require the Bureau of Land Management to develop a plan for maintaining wildlife corridors, Henson said.The wilderness protections would prevent future presidential administrations, BLM management, and U.S. Forest Service management from opening the areas for mining, off-highway vehicle use or other kinds of development, Henson said.

Under the proposed bills, Joshua Tree National Park would gain 4,518 acres, plus the privately established Joshua Tree Visitor Center. Death Valley National Park would grow by 35,292 acres, including 1,600 acres donated by the Mojave Desert Land Trust.

The legislation also would designate 18,610 acres of BLM land in Inyo County as the Alabama Hills National Scenic Area. The area has been a popular filming location, and can be seen in Iron Man, Django Unchained, Tremors, westerns and more. An old mining area on the site is also popular among recreational prospectors and the land has been enjoyed for other activities such as hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, hunting fish and authorized motorized vehicle use, Itnyre said. The designation would prevent large scale projects, like renewable energy generation, which has been a big concern among locals, he said. Filming and recreational uses, however, would continue, he said.
