  1. Animals of the Everglades

    Blog: Vagabond3 - 19 January 2012

    I’m a little embarrassed to admit that, as a Florida resident, I’ve never been to the Everglades. I’ve traveled all around the state of Florida, especially when I was in undergrad, but I never made my way down to South Florida to experience this vast and incredible ecosystem- over 200 million acres.  This area is home to hundreds of different plants and animals, including some of Florida and the United States...

  4. The Birth of Land on the Big Island Hawaii

    Blog: Ottsworld - 17 January 2012

    I stand looking out over the jagged landscape; toppled-over trees without bark and a silver sheen provide a contrast against the dark petrified sea of lava.

  8. Drive to Mauna Kea

    Blog: Ottsworld - 13 January 2012

    As I drove the gradual incline, the car downshifted to a lower gear, jerked and slowly inched up the road; I could feel just how hard it seemed to be working to get up to the Mauna Kea visitor center.  Hawaii has the tallest mountain on earth.  No, I haven’t lost my mind, and no, [...]

    “I expected more meth heads,” I told Laura as my trip to New Mexico came to a close. Perhaps I’d watched a touch too much Breaking Bad. After all, you know something’s wrong when you’re slightly disillusioned by the lack of druggies, crack houses and drug cartel violence. Yep, I went to New Mexico while [...]
