Camping at Fishermans Corner

Arrived at Fisherman’s Corner campground in Hampton, IL, on Thursday evening and went on my first Iowa.LandShark geo-bike ride yesterday. Somewhere between 18-22 miles of geocaching along the Mississippi River from Moline to Davenport and Rock Island. Open my track log to see where Gossamar and I went.

Streamlit Ghost Azure Resources

I’ve got Mackenzie looking at Streamlit as a means of building a mobile-friendly app that I can use to create posts like this one. That app will need to allow me to edit a TITLE and Markdown BODY fields, capture location and time, and post all of that information to my personal blog… preferably from my cell phone. I’ve captured some possible resources and guidance in https://www.one-tab.com/page/71iaDADxT-eLEOx15qeVnQ.

Staying this weekend in a Marriott in Owensboro, Kentucky, for GeoWoodstock 2023. Headed to Louisville in the morning for some oldies.

Fathers and Sons

Traveled to Iowa City to see Luis A. perform in a production of “Fathers and Sons” at the University of Iowa, part of the annual New Plays Festival there. Found a geocache outside the theatre after the show.

Cold Morning Clear Lake

Camping at Clear Lake State Park and I have to admit it’s cold. My phone says the temp is 37°F and my little space heater appears to be broken. It gets warm but the fan doesn’t work so that’s all. Heading to the shower, then breakfast at TJs, then to Menards for a new space heater!

PCA Weekend

Departing for the PCA (Peoples’ Choice Awards) weekend in Clear Lake / Mason City. Got The Some IT in tow. First camping of the season.
