Coming Attractions

Dear Readers,

I know it looks like I fell off the face of the earth, but I plan to resume posting to Trail Watch later in the spring and over the summer.

In the meantime, I received an email pertaining to a blog by ecologist and environmental writer Daniel Botkin, the author of (among many other works) Passage of Discovery: A Guide to the Missouri River of Lewis and Clark (1999). He has decided to serialize this book on his website, posting one chapter per week or so. There are 40 chapters, so that ought to keep readers busy for a while!

Here's the link to Botkin's project: http://www.danielbbotkin.com/category/passage-of-discovery/

Dr. Botkin is described by his blog manager (who contacted me) as "a well known ecologist, who writes about nature, ecology, the environment, and people's connection with the environment, including some of the big issues, like energy policy and endangered species." I commend Daniel Botkin for freely sharing so many of his works and ideas with the public via his weblog.
