The Kansas Moon Tree, an American Sycamore, was grown from a seed that traveled all the way to the moon and back as part of a scientific experiment on Apollo 14 in 1971. Check it out in Atchison, KS, at the International Forest of Friendship. https://t.co/mdEQCSfu5o #MoonTree

Typical #Midwest #streambed material. Do we need a new #sediment size category for #BuschLight? #streams #fluvialgeomorphology

Go big or go home! Can't truly claim this one but am loving the geomorphological response! #woodisgood
