Rock Creek Park

“Greening America’s Capitals”. I chose my hometown of Jefferson City, Missouri and Little Rock, Arkansas. Both projects are geared towards improvements in surrounding areas of state capitals in the United States. Little Rock has focused on a multi-plan “facelift” for the Main Street Corridor located near their capital, and Jefferson City has focused on the restoration of Wears Creek near the capital. Little Rock has hired a team of landscape architects and utilized its own city staff to concentrate

Lake Anza at Tilden park in Berkeley, California, was the place for me. It was a Friday, the cherry on top for my physically and emotionally draining week. I came to the office before everyone else in hopes of leaving early, in order to avoid chaotic Friday afternoon traffic. I started my day by entering in data collected yesterday by me

dirt bike. Living in the country as a child made hanging out with friends much more difficult with my parents at work, but I always had my dirt bike to ride. On this particular summer day, I decided to ride my dirt bike to my favorite spot by the creek. Then, I grabbed my helmet, slipped on my shoes, and disappeared ripping

Must Destinations in Lakeland To a tourist visiting Florida, there is a break he can pass on distant from the tedious rides in the iconic theme parks of Disneyworld in Orlando or the fine white sand beaches in the Tampa area. This is particularly so when the trip involves a family. Cost notwithstanding, Lakeland, located 42 minutes from the theme parks from the East and about 45 minutes West to the Tampa shores of Central Florida, offer places to travel that are loose on the budget. 1.

My Trip to Idaho One day, my mom got a phone call from my dad saying he was going to be working in Idaho for a couple of months. It was very unexpected. During the end of July, we went over there to visit him for a couple of weeks. We went over there for my birthday. I was turning ten at the time. It took us two days to get there. We drove for ten hours the first day, stayed the night in Ontario and drove six hours the second day. My dad was working in Montpelier, Idaho. We visited four different

I’ve also continued to develop and supply outreach materials for public access City office buildings and community centers, including items like the new Creek Trails of Santa Rosa Map and Guide and the brochure Only Rain down the Drain and Russian River Watershed Association’s Urban Creek Care Guide – Responsible Practices for Russian River Watershed Residents.

the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity...”-John Muir.(Brainyuote) As John Muir stated, we must experience true wilderness and nature. Yosemite showcases a variety of natural wonders such as waterfalls, Giant Sequoia trees, and rock formations. The Yosemite firefalls, man made and later natural, are part of the natural wonders of Yosemite, with the exception of the man made firefall. The man made firefall was created on accident by James McCauley, the owner of Glacier Point Mountain

deaths and destroyed most of the park, including three natural springs and three bridges. The damage was estimated at over $1,769,000. Some of the park was restored as a WPA project and more restoration is ongoing. Many people wonder about the location of the springs in Colorado Springs. They were not the springs which were destroyed in the flood, but generally refer to springs either in nearby Manitou Springs or Monument. There is one aboveground spring in the park, although it has been capped

known as El Capitan, my first introduction to this “rock” was when The Guide told me a story about Ozzy and Sharon Osborne’s kid, Jack. Apparently, his idea of going through a rebellious period, and seriously, as the kid of the front man of Black Sabbath, how do you even define rebellion, was to train and learn how to climb the face of El Capitan. The photo shared with me showed Jack camped out in a swinging hammock nailed to the face of the rocks a million feet in the air. What is wrong with that

GENERAL ROCK TYPES The oldest rocks exposed are arkosic sandstone and shale, and small amounts of thin-bedded chert and altered volcanic rocks, of the Upper Jurassic Franciscan formation. Large masses of serpentine and smaller plugs and dikes of gabbro and diorite intrude these sediments; glaucophane schists and their unusual mineralogical assemblages are developed locally. The series as exposed on the San Jose quadrangle consists chiefly of sandstone, shale, and jasper; with occasional bed of heavy
