It has been about two weeks since my last Highlighted Community post.  I have been quite busy and I haven’t been able to crank out those posts as often as I would like but there will be more coming.   My plan is to have one highlighted community post a week or at worst once every 10 days-2 weeks.  I also plan to have a few posts like my El-Nino post or trip ideas to give you all some more content.

I feel like the Highlighted Community posts are not just about travel but also are there to provide educational opportunities for my readers.  There is more to a place than just a latitude/longitude point and what we deem as attractions.  Every community whether it is a town of under 100 people in the middle of nowhere or a large city has a story to tell and I would like to help tell that story.  I also like to add some Earth Science whenever possible and hopefully ask questions like, Why is the lay of the land that way? Why does location X have more rain and/or snow than location Z? and things of that nature.  I hope that these posts allow for readers to realize that there is more to a town or city than just places.

I look forward to delivering more highlighted communities, weather, geology, and perhaps just a few random posts over the next few months and years.
