One thing I forgot about Weeping Rock was how tranquil it was sitting there under the rock with the water falling all around, the singing birds and the chirping frogs. […]

There's a reason she's won so many accolades for her work! Patti LuPone, the Broadway legend, performed some spectacular selections this evening at UVU. So glad I could be there.
It was a great day to get up in the mountains and visit some elk! Members of @utahtourguides went to the Hardware Wildlife Management Area or Hardware Ranch just outside of Hyrum, Utah where they feed wild elk for a few months each winter to keep them from raiding hay stores at nearby farms. They offer horse-drawn wagon rides to get out and see the elk and learn about these amazing animals, our state mammal.
Ever wonder why the South shuts down with "just a little bit of snow"? This is why. This storm has kept me in Texas two days longer than expected because of cancelled flights. Hopefully it clears enough by tomorrow to fly home.
On our way out of Houston, we visited the 567-foot San Jacinto Monument where Texas independence was won. Unfortunately, the elevator was broken, so we couldn't go up. We did see some wild pigs and a beautiful blue heron.
Galveston, even on an overcast day, is charming. The magnificent Victorian homes in their rainbow of colors, the beach with shells and birds, and the rich history and heritage made for an enjoyable and satisfying day. The highlights for me were the Bishop's Palace and the Juneteenth mural at the site where it happened.
After the last few fantastic sessions of the NFTGA national conference, we explored the final two missions of the San Antonio UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then, on our way to Houston, we detoured through Gonzales, TX. It is the birthplace of the Texas Revolution where the "Come and Take It" flag originated.
Such a fun night at the Knibbe Ranch for the @nftgausa national conference! Music, cattle, dancing, brisket, and more! Of note is the prehistoric history with an authentic bison jump site that has revealed buckets of archeological treasures and the amazing Texas history of the Knibbe family.
Another great day at the @nftgausa national conference in San Antonio. The panel and keynote in the morning were insightful, the networking and discussions invaluable, and the tour of the historic Spanish missions a delight.
Fun first day in San Antonio for the NFTGA national conference!
