about gulfwarvet

During my years at NCSU, I took an internship in Montana with the Department of the Interior.  In 10 weeks, I traversed and mapped over 10000 miles worth of roads and trails in the (then) newly created Upper Missouri Breaks National Monument.  It was important to me to be part of this because every day we lose thousands upon thousands of acres of the most pristine lands to development in our country.  This park was formed to halt the damaging effects of improper land use by cattle farmers and hunters who have been damaging the delicate ecology in that region.   

If you plan to vacation in this area (which I HIGHLY recommend you do!), chances are the maps you will use were created utilizing the data I generated for the BLM.

The profile image is of one of the many hundreds I'd taken while surveying the region.  This is a vista looking east/northeasterly in the Cow Creek area.

thanx for the opt-out explanation.

Tell me about the opt-out thing, please, cause this sounds like something I might want to do.

And thanks for the look-see and the info. It's appreciated!

Hi - I was reading your comments regarding precession on the 2012 blog, and found them intriguing. I didn't know much about the subject so I did a little digging - it seems to me that precession refers to the orientation of the earth's axis relative to the universe beyond the solar system, and doesn't affect the axial tilt (therefore the relationship between the earth and sun). I could see how this might raise temperatures at one pole, if the tilt faces the sun when it's closer, but it looks like in that case the opposite would be true for the other pole, and everything would balance out. Your thoughts? PS - I love the mountains too.:)

Thanks for the great video link! Will you please send me an e-mail at bshrader@wral.com? Thanks!

hope you have a great week! *HUGS*

wanted to drop by and say hi! **HUGS**

Good luck. :-)
