So we've been traveling all over the country in our motorhome (I know you're following us at GypsyMom.com, right?) and we've learned so much from our visits to state and national parks, about the landscape, geography, geology and history including that of the
Native Americans, which I find to be the absolute most valuable of information because they lived here long long long before the caucasian people did and somewhere in their unwritten histories lies all the secrets of the plants that we call weeds. I'm a huge ethobotany junkie. Do you know what ethnobotany is? It's the study of how indigenous people use the plants in their region. I just think it's fascinating and I studied it for a while when we lived in Seattle and when I move back theere I definitely want to enroll in some sort of wilderness survival course so I can learn more. Anyway, click on that link I made above and you can search in your area for American-Indian activities and attractions. I think our local Toppenish Indians had their PowWow listed on that website, so check them out. Even if you don't live near me because their directory is huge.
