California Conservation Corp members helped put together a live timeline of how the 67-mile Backbone Trail was pieced together, parcel by parcel over 40 years.
Public land corps agencies, such as the LACC, played a significant role in building the nearly completed 67-mile Backbone Trail.

The Pennines are a low-rising mountain range and region of moorland and hill country in the North of England often described as the backbone of England. Forming an almost continuous range stretching from the Derbyshire Peak District in the south, passing through Lancashire and Yorkshire past the Cumbrian fells and on to the English - Scottish border in the north.
Kayaktivists from the sHellNo! Action Council greeted Shell's Arctic Destroyer in the Port Angeles.
The growing fleet of kayaks took their call to action to "Save the Arctic" from the land, out to sea, and even the air! Equipped with paddles, PFD's and a whole lot of heart, they brought their message,"Arctic Drilling = Climate Chaos," right to Shell. Paddlers probed the 100 yard "safety zone" of the Polar Pioneer, the platform being prepped for pillaging the arctic.
Even a Orca whale joined the protest, albeit in the form of a 10 foot large kite.
More unusual sights will likely follow as the creative, beautiful, and powerful movement grows to preserve the arctic and stop catastrophic climate change.
Join the sHellNo! Action Council!
Take the pledge of resistance!

This is a very strange panel of prehistoric pictographs. All the images are quite small at 8 to 15 centimeters tall. There is an amazing amount of detail in some of them. According to what I understand the motifs are very different from anything else in Utah or possibly the country. Several of the images can be interpreted as having heads with open mouths and large teeth displayed. One might even believe they resemble a snarling dinosaur (personal conjecture). I think the general feeling is they are extremely old (Possibly the oldest art in the region). It is interesting that this art is located in a shelter with a fossil array that has been identified as the back region of an Ankylosaur. This apparently dates the rock unit as Cretaceous.

Alma Street, Sheffield.
Sheffield Industrial Museum, Kelham Island.
Little Mesters Street.
Often described as the backbone of Sheffield’s cutlery and tool making industries, the Little Mesters were a network of craftspeople working out of small workshops or from their own homes.
They were self-employed and carried out the different stages of the production of goods, which were ordered and sold by Master Manufacturers. They mostly concentrated on individual aspects of forging, grinding or finishing and would also specialise in particular products, such as razors, penknives or surgical instruments. At the height of their population in the mid 1800s, Little Mesters were making a vast contribution to the variety of products which bore a Sheffield stamp. Their reputation is one of skilled work and quality products.
Only a handful of Little Mesters remain in Sheffield today, two can still be seen working on the reconstructed Little Mesters’ Street at the museum, other workshops can be found at Portland Works.

If you look closely you can see the connected rectangles that, to me, look like a backbone. That's how it started out anyway... then I got a little crazy which is very easy to do with zentangling.
Nice rock formations. Winter hike just seven minutes from my home in Loveland Colorado. Nice trail on way to Rocky Mountain National Park.

Backbone Campaign teamed up with our friends the Mosquito Fleet, 350 Seattle, Rising Tide, Women of Color Speak Out, the Raging Grannies, Lush, and many more to demand action on climate and an equitable transition away from fossil fuels on May 13-15th, 2016. The protests were part of the #BreakFree global wave of actions calling for our society to “Transition Together” towards "Energy Without Injury,” “100% Renewable Energy Now” and “No More Casualties” by extractive fossil fuel industries. Because of these actions Shell and Tesoro refineries suspended all fossil fuel transport by tankers and rail for 3 days.

The thousands who participated and organized Break Free actions on land and sea in Anacortes, WA made it abundantly clear that our best chance to avert the worst effects of climate change lies in people with a conscience stepping into their courage to take collective action.
Break Free exemplified the spirit of resistance and resilience, our courage, creativity, deep listening, perseverance and the reverence we hold for what is beautiful and sacred. These traits embodied by the people you call your friends, comrades, and kindred spirits are exactly what Big Oil, and their ilk who profit off of the unjust status quo, fear the most. They are terrified of people moving beyond the shackles of powerlessness and hopelessness and instead exercising their moral imagination to lock arms together and demand change outside of the traditional pathways of redress.
To stop the poisoning of our communities and Exxon's cooking of our climate, we need ordinary heroes courageously stepping outside of what is comfortable and familiar to take action regardless of the odds. Together let's rise to this momentous occasion!
