I’m hoping to do some free plant identification/wilderness hikes/excursions in the Kentucky/Southern Indiana area this summer. If anyone sees this and is interested in coming along or helping out let me know.

Enjoying my stew made with locally raised goat and veggies as I see this. I guess trashing the food that your ancestors ate is the newest cool thing. Way to go winner.
