Little Cottonwood Canyon is a site bursting with geological history, rock formations earthquake potential on the fault, prehistoric glacial formations, landslides, and many hazards associated with it. The Wasatch fault is bound to have a enormous earthquake in the future and has left behind numerous scars. The mountains have been engraved by glacial formations dated back to the Ice Age (~14,000 years ago). Rock falls and landslides have left hefty boulders as indication of erosion and moisture in the rocks. The hazards on this mountain range are mass wasting, radon, earthquakes, and flooding of Little Cottonwood Creek.

In the town of Coalwood having a dream and an ambition is very important for the younger generation coming up.

The war caused a massive death toll number in which the country was not expecting to bury so many of its soldiers. President Lincoln signed the omnibus bill, due to graveyards becoming packed, which allowed him to buy new cemetery grounds. Although, President Lincoln had just ordered the purchase of new cemetery grounds they were filling up quickly as well due to the many injured soldiers that had died in the Battle of the Second Wilderness and the Forty-Day’s Campaign. Both Soldier’s Home and Alexandria National Cemetery were reaching their limit of one thousand burials. Washington started to fill up with dead bodies faster than they could get rid of them, which caused federal officials to choose Arlington as the new burial ground place.

There is no vanity on the AT (The Appalachian Trail) and more than some walk in the woods.  Seems like it would be just an adventure.  It started as a journey and a leap of faith to hike the entire Georgia section of the AT in less than 6 days.  Day 4 it became a transformation.  I saw less than 10 people hiking for 6 days and 90 miles.  I hiked till 7pm each day (one hour prior to sunset) and wherever the spirit led me, I set up my tent, ate my food, journaled, slept and got up at 6 am in order to be back on the trail as soon as I could see it.  Relentless steep climbs on all types of terrain and many painful descents that caused much knee pain.  Several nights totally alone in the wilderness.  Lots of praying and talking to God out loud.

The region that is considered Appalachia extends from the southern point of New York and extends down to northern Georgia and the northern part of Mississippi. The region includes parts of Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, the western portion of Virginia, and parts of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.

The first farm I want to talk about is Tony Heisterkamp from Akron Apple and Aronia berry farm. He was extremely passionate about what he does. Tony and his wife decided to start an apple orchard because both of them wanted to do something different and get back to farming. They planted their first apple trees in 2006. It was not very long after starting the orchard that Tony discovered aronia berries. He suffered from very bad arthritis and back pain. Nothing would help in the long run; so he decided to give aronia juice a try. Within days of taking the juice he had no pain. Therefore he decided to order some bushes and see if he could get them to grow well. Since they were planted in 2007, they have been able to start up two different businesses for aronia products as well as open a storefront to sell wine and their products.

In terms of National Parks, one often thinks of the greats such as Yosemite, Yellowstone, or the sheer vast area of Alaskan parks such as Denali. There are many other National Parks with unique beauty, striking features, intricate geology, and historical significance that many forget about or brush aside.

Geologically, Petrified Forest National Park stands out with stunning colors, formations, and variety.
