You never know what TV fans are going to do with your IP. Anyone else recognize this show...? Wonder what it's doing checking drivers into a parking lot...?
#Stockholm gets ~150 mins renewed daylight in March! To celebrate sunny increase, I'm out to run 150 miles (~240kms) between March 1 & 31. The #March150! Join in the celebration?
I love nights like these. Well, evenings. I mean, it's only around 17:30! Anyway, there's no one else out when it's windy, snowy and icy. Just me and the trail. Joy!
Confluence of Comanche Creek and Rio Costilla in the Valle Vidal unit of the Carson National Forest. Nice oxbow. The rock formation is known as Comanche Point.
Unlike dunes composed of quartz-based sand, gypsum does not readily convert the sun’s energy into heat. As a result, the surface temperature of White Sands doesn’t get as hot as sand on a beach. Walking barefoot on the dunes is comfortable most of the year. Even when the surface of the sand gets too hot, it is cool just below the surface, because the gypsum retains moisture from the playa of the Alkali Flat.
