"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

We went today and had a blast! We "adopted" a marmot to help support the park, had face painting done, made a marmot sock puppet, got to feel different animal pelts, and talk to the Rangers. Then we went on a hike up Staunton Ranch Trail. The best part - almost everyone you pass says hello (if you don't beat them to it) - it was like living in Kings Valley again where everyone waves at you as you drive by. There were bikers, horseback riders, and hikers with kids and/or dogs, and we were very glad to get out as a family for some exercise. Here's what we saw:

And because I flirted with geology as a career path for a brief time (geologically speaking. <wink>), I'm always drawn to rocks. 
And here's Murray the Marmot (as named by my son) that we received as part of our adoption. He's very soft and cuddly, and quite colorful for a stuffed animal.
If you haven't been to Staunton yet, what are you waiting for?
