I’ve wanted to do this for a while, now I have a good excuse. I’m packing my bags. Leaving town. I have a forages class where we will load up on a bus, travel for 14 days, across 7 states, camp along the way, and learn more about grazing lands across different regions of the country. Don’t worry. I have my camera and extra memory cards and batteries. There will plenty of new material to share once I return.

I’m taking this opportunity to unplug the phone and turn off the social media outlets for a few days. The next few months are sure to provide a busy schedule and a few changes I’m very excited about. More on that later.

Until then I’ll leave you with this old photo. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.
