Looks like a wonderful and interesting tour. Mount Calvert looks very British to me.
Have you seen beavers on your trip ?
I like beavers. They are funny animals. Are they protected against hunting in America ?Not on yesterday’s trip, but yes we have come across beavers lots of times, especially in these fresh water creeks and rivers. If they have their youg about, the parents will often swim out and SPLASH their tails to scare peeps away.
Never, never, never forgotten.Good morning Lena, Carol and anyone else that’s awake
RIP old friend

Are the moles there where the horses graze ? I always experienced that moles don`t like the trampling sound of horses on their heads.... and disappear where no horses graze.![]()
Tisn't rainy or snowy in here.Goooood mooooooorning CDR roomies.
I hope you all slept well in your rainy, snowy corners.![]()

No moles here, but we have ground squirrels, which are worse!Do you get moles where you are? They aren't common per say around here but I have seen their hills on my travels before!
YEA!!!! Our fearless leader is back!!!!!Yeah, me to, I didn't want to have to send a prize to anyone else.![]()
We don't like it when you sulk. Of course, it is the leader's prerogative, but we still don't like it!My Journey to The Cold Dark Room.
When I rescued Tidgy, i stopped off at a cyber-cafe on the way home and checked as many tortoise information sources as possible. This Tortoise Forum became the main base for my tortoise learning.
I didn't join until years later, when Tidgy had a problem with a leg, that thankfully wasn't serious.
I soon joined in the fun over on Pretend Chat, but then had one of my hissy fits, threw the toys out of the pram and established the Cold Dark Room as a place to sulk.
I like sulking.
As a paleontologist i tend to spend my time looking down at my feet.I'll leave you with a quote from Stephen Hawking before I head to my meeting
Make that your mantra
I have heard that a blind hog will find an acorn every now n then [emoji23]... but now you’ve got to tell me what you think about that tortoises house. Am I just crazy? It’s clear that the man loves his pet... so surely that’s not his only house????
Tidgy and my fossils will be making the draw this year.Yes ! It is fixed in my brain.
A tortoise for Lena in the the next TORTOISE and the sign she could buy by herself.
Which tortoise you would prefer ? A cute little greek tortoise or two like these ones ? ( they are my ones )

Look at these red scales on her feet and butt. Like the feet and butt are burning ! The German name of the tortoise is "Köhler Schildkröte" because these red scales look like glowing coal. And the "Köhler" in German is the charcoal maker.

It’s the huge one up north that is so devastating. 100,000 acres and 700 structures burned and a few deaths.
