Work in Hawaii then a vacation in Indiana...

Thanks to everyone in Hawaii who made my recent trip a big success and a lot of fun. I'm happy to report that I made it back from the tour of the marine lab on Gilligan's Island right on time, three hours on the nose!

On my way home to Illinois, I'm visiting my friends Laura and Ryan in Goshen, Indiana.


Field shots of bark lice aren't much to look at, so here's some photos from spots I stopped along the way.

I'll be home in Illinois until November. Drop by a visit if you're in the Midwest!
