Here's what I see when I try to send.

FWIW I'm also getting the notification after trying to send a message that you can't be messaged. Very weird.

For me, it's like the group doesn't exist...it doesn't come up at all. Just this.

Peggy has my vote.

MN folk, just checking in re: #TwinCitiesGeeks which has dropped off being searchable on FB. Are we just in a pause? Or something else?

A sure sign of the changing seasons in Minnesota: the portable toilet in the park moves from the hockey rink to the pickleball courts.

At Yosemite National Park, Trump fired the only locksmith with the keys to locked restrooms. 🤦‍♂️ (per Washington Post)

'Honestly terrifying': Yosemite National Park is in chaos The Trump administration is derailing decades of conservation efforts in California's most loved park.

On one hand, I'm so thankful to have visited Yosemite last summer during a calm, protected period. But that makes the incompetence happening right now under Trump even harder to take. We as voters intentionally chose this self-destructive behavior.

Pretty psyched that I managed to get the wilderness permit we wanted for backpacking. I'll be dreaming of rushing waterfalls & marmots for 6 months now. 🏞️

Other wilderness areas have moved to a lottery or rolling permit format. It may be time for BWCA to join them given the annual "I didn't get my permit" drama.

Thinking about swapping Costco for Target over the diversity rollback. Who wants to give us a Costco 101? What's something our family shouldn't miss buying?

Me getting fancy beef jerky for Christmas putting it in my bear can for a backpacking trip later & attaching the new sticker I got to the lid.

My partner: "you could just eat that now like a normal human."

It's true, I could. But jerky tastes better in the woods.

My resolutions this year include starting a comprehensive list of backpacking trips To Do. Both with my daughter & solo.

I thought I had our summer all planned, but I've been lured by other possibilities. SEKI is the frontrunner but Olympic NP & Mount Rainier are both calling pretty hard rn.
