Potash Road is a perfect location to look for the tracks of small to large theropod (meat-eating) dinosaurs. Experts love this spot, where the unique tracks provide a glimpse into the past for paleontologists. The river is beautiful here, gently flowing through a magical landscape on a sunny morning.
An abundance of ancient history and treasures that must be protected for the ages.
It’s truly stunning to contemplate the wealth of artifacts left over these many centuries and consider the lives of those who inhabited the area, the way they lived, the things they saw.
When the incredible beauty that remains is added, this is surely one of the Earth’s greatest gems.
I think your writing has really represented everything. From your travels so far I've got a package that is very enchanting and impressive. From natural beauties that I have yet to see by myself to a mixture of knowledge from any angle that is unfamiliar to me. And there is a notable message through your writing regarding the safety of the environment and our planet.
Keep this going. Keep writing beautifully. Thank you so much for your concern about the existence of this planet. Much appreciated as well, for reminding and engaging us to participate and care more protecting this planet as whole.

How fascinating. Keep this going. I enjoyed reading this over coffee very much. Thanks!
I'm guessing you might add a climate change aspect as you move further along the Colorado. The drought (if that's still what we're calling it after 23 years) will become more apparent there. Looking forward to following that journey to the Mexican border.
As to what I like to read - there might have to be a separate email on that. Judith mentioned Luna - yes, please! I'm looking into having a separate section of my newsletter - just to organize my contents. Haven't quite figured it out yet ... but in your case since all your writing concerns the planet - you could well leave it like this.
While the astonishing rock formations are new to me not having traveled in this area, and the dinosaur footprints as well, I was especially pleased to actually see some water! 💦 I wonder how much drought relief was provided by the extreme rain events, the “atmospheric rivers” new to my reading and watching this year. Had not expected to see much water at all. I think the route must curl around quite a bit along the way. Looking forward to getting to the Mexican Border eventually. Write whatever pleases you. It seems to me that having a newsletter that focuses on travel with photos and sketches anywhere you happen to be is great; and another primary one remain focused on Climate and biodiversity. And of course, there must always be a place for Luna. There are so many on Climate it seems but perspectives are different as are hopes for mitigation; the science; the changing expectations; the doom and gloom; the specifics of doing one’s part is crucial and may not be obvious to various populations. Write from your unique experience and outlook seems wise to me. Best wishes in growing your paid subscriptions. We’re here to spread the word! It’s very late & I’m sounding like an expert which I am not; just answering your questions. Here’s a crazy last thought before I fall asleep; “A Day in the Life of Alexander Verbeek” old fashioned but wide open! No preconceived expectations except to join you on your journey. 🥱😴
Wow! This area is a mother lode of archeology!

Thank you!
Keep writing and sharing as you do, as you feel moved to express and share. It’s wonderful to accompany you on your journeys.
It's an honor to be reminded of the deep history, and to recognize that it's Earth rather than U.S.

Rock art, dinosaurs 🦕 and travel. It sounds like Heaven. I have 🦖 toys to inspire me for stories😂Thanks for sharing.
Love the dinosaur footprints!
