Applecore 1.20

I pulled off the road in a dark place in the middle of Utah at an exit marked Strawberry Pinnacles to watch the meteor shower. I had seen 4-5 shooting stars on the drive, but when I stopped at 12.30am the sky was so full of them it took a bright long one for me to believe my eyes again. I fell asleep by 1am and didn't wake up until 6. When I woke I ate an apple and planted the core, which had many ripe seeds, here on the side of the road where I heard a brook babbling beneath the red desert sand. The soil was moist. I noticed the land was for sale.

What This Is All About

This is where I will post pictures and thoughts as I drive across the country with my son, planting apple cores as we eat the apples. If you want to see the locations of the pictures (including apple planting sites) you will be able to follow us by clicking on this picture:
