Passing Through
We have been starting to see Monarch butterflies moving through. We always see lots of them in late September and October. I thought it might be interesting to do a little research on them. This site has information on the butterfly and its life cycle.
Arches
Arches National Park is in eastern Utah and is well-known for preserving over 2,000 natural sandstone arches. It covers 67,679 acres. Arches was originally declared a National Monument in 1929 but was re-classified as a National Park on November 12, 1971. The park is located just north of Moab, Utah. It ranges in elevation from 4,085 feet at the visitor center to 5,635 feet at Elephant Butte. The park is best known for Delicate Arch.
Big Cypress
The Big Cypress Preserve was established on October 11, 1974. It contains 720,567 acres and is located about 45 miles west of Miami, Florida. Much of the preserve is located along US Highway 41 which is also known as the Tamiami Trail. The preserve contains six campgrounds and numerous hiking trails. There are two visitor centers in the preserve: The Oasis Visitor Center and the Big Cypress Swamp Welcome Center. There are two scenic drives in the preserve which gives the visitor a chance to see more remote parts of the preserve than just those along US 41.
Thinking
Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us.

Habits
Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.
