A Note From the Road: In the Garden - Dahlia in the Rain - Bella Vista, Arkansas

Dear Henry,
It has been raining buckets here today, but for a brief moment it stopped and I was able to run outside to take pictures of the raindrops.
I love how the dahlia turned out, I think I am going to make an art print out of it.

A Note From the Road: Road Trip Missouri - Shoal Creek, Joplin Missouri

Dear Henry,
Rock stacking has become such a trend and you can't seem to go anywhere without finding one.
Apparently, there is some controversy about them. Traditionally, they were used for cairns and as trail markers, but now, they are just an outlet for creativity.
Technically, they violate the "leave no trace" rule, but, I am inclined to accept them, at least, in areas that this one was found.
This was "inner city" nature spot and placing one here is really no big deal and they are often quite pretty. But, within in the trail systems, particularly backpacking trails, I disagree with their placement. In those scenarios, they should be only be used in the traditional sense, although now, a backpacker can no longer rely on them.
What do you think?

Dear Henry,

I am sure that by now you have seen the photo of the lines getting to the summit of Mount Everest.

Part of this congestion is caused by the lack of routes to the summit, while there are currently 20 named routes to the top, only two are feasible for the guides and widespread use.

Those two, especially in recent years, as mountaineering has become more popular, have seen heavy traffic.

Two guides, Cory Richards and Esteban "Topo" Mena are trying to ease some of that congestion. They are creating a new route to the summit.

The process, due to the narrow climbing window and the difficulty of the undertaking, it may take several years for the route to be established. The process is painstaking, slow, and quite dangerous. When it does, it will hopefully ease up the traffic jams to the summit.

As a side note, I noticed that Topo Mena worked as a guide for Alpenglow Expeditions, an expedition company that does NOT use supplemental oxygen for their Mount Everest exp…
