Most of my work trips are pretty mundane. The last three were rather typical — Philadelphia, Tampa and Atlanta — for example. Sometimes I go to more interesting places like my quick jaunt to Germany a few years ago. However, this time I hit the jackpot: Hawaii, Japan, and South Korea over a two week […] The post Asia-Pacific, Part 1 (Oahu: Honolulu Waterfront) appeared first on Twelve Mile Circle - An Appreciation of Unusual Places.

Ontario, Bonus Days

On what was supposed to be the final morning, we entered Toronto Pearson Airport to catch an 11:00 am Sunday flight back to Washington, DC. We finally threw in the towel around 6:00 pm after American Airlines repeatedly postponed the departure due to mechanical issues with the incoming flight. Unfortunately, by then all favorable options […] The post Ontario, Bonus Days 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.

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.

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.

Mapping the Return of the Gray Wolf to California

One of the most surprising aspects of the recovery of the gray wolf in the United States is the return of the species to California. Wolves had been eliminated from the state in the 1920s and were not expected to return any soon time, if at all. But in 2011, a single wolf made the […] The post Mapping the Return of the Gray Wolf to California appeared first on GeoCurrents.
