I suppose that Diamond Dan and I actually ARE educational guides. Our lectures cover a wide array of geology and historic facts. All "hands on", how to proceed with reclamation, how to recognize a riparian area and how to proceed without disturbing the habitat. How to improve habitat, recognize trash vs. artifact, and generally help increase the productivity and carrying capacity of the land.
Perhaps more importantly, the delicate sensibilities of the more pompus individuals manning the effete corps of intelectual snobbery. I cover this delicate subject in my "how to recoginze a granola snapper" lecture. Frederick the Great has been quoted as coining the phrase: "Chance favors the prepared mind" . How True is that! Happy Trails
Do you find this valuable?
