We awoke in Walla Walla at the beginning of our first full day. We couldn’t check-in at our accommodations in Pendleton, Oregon until mid-afternoon and the drive would only take about an hour. So we needed to find something we could do locally and we got another chance to explore Walla Walla in a little […] The post Inland Northwest, Day 2 (Walla Walla to Pendleton) appeared first on Twelve Mile Circle - An Appreciation of Unusual Places.

Ontario, Day 8 (Toronto Tourist)

We woke up that morning to our final full day in Canada and we decided to speedrun as much of Toronto as we could manage. Unfortunately due to constraints of distance and endurance we barely scratched the surface. There will need to be a next time. So what was the most Canadian way to start […] The post Ontario, Day 8 (Toronto Tourist) appeared first on Twelve Mile Circle - An Appreciation of Unusual Places.

Ontario, Day 7 (Toronto Orientation)

We left the southern shores of Georgian Bay and I already missed the area. It turned out great even if I knew next to nothing about it before I researched the trip. However, all things come to an end and now I had a better-known part of Ontario to explore. I hadn’t spent any time […] The post Ontario, Day 7 (Toronto Orientation) appeared first on Twelve Mile Circle - An Appreciation of Unusual Places.

Ontario, Day 6 (Owen Sound)

Our time along the southern tip of Georgian Bay was quickly drawing to an end but we still had one more destination along the shoreline towards the northwest. But first I took my final early morning stroll through Collingwood before the family woke up. I retraced some of the more memorable routes from earlier in […] The post Ontario, Day 6 (Owen Sound) appeared first on Twelve Mile Circle - An Appreciation of Unusual Places.

Ontario, Day 5 (Lake and Caves)

As I planned the trip, I tried to intersperse mellow days with active days and most of the time I followed those guidelines. Originally Day 5 was designed as something low-key in Collingwood without any driving. However, plans shifted a tiny bit and we did more than we anticipated. Hen and Chicken Island I ducked […] The post Ontario, Day 5 (Lake and Caves) appeared first on Twelve Mile Circle - An Appreciation of Unusual Places.

Ontario, Day 4 (Penetanguishene and Beyond)

I had absolutely no idea how to pronounce Penetanguishene, and I still don’t. Typing it isn’t any easier. I had to cut-and-paste the name to make sure I got it right. Nonetheless, that’s where we pointed the car on our fourth day in Ontario, about an hour northeast of Collingwood. Notice that I mentioned road […] The post Ontario, Day 4 (Penetanguishene and Beyond) appeared first on Twelve Mile Circle - An Appreciation of Unusual Places.

Mapping the Return of Wolves in Europe

As I was preparing to resume posting on GeoCurrents after a short hiatus, I decided to examine recent posts on the fascinating but unfortunately named Reddit site called “MapPorn.” As always, I was struck by many contributions, but what really caught my eye was a five-map sequence on the decline and resurgence of the grey […] The post Mapping the Return of Wolves in Europe appeared first on GeoCurrents.
