I've waited a long time for this, and now I really feel ready to move on. After careful planning and driving 400 miles Hailey, Jack and I arrived at the vagrant lichen land of promise. On a beautiful outcrop in the middle of a desert in southwest Idaho I found my lichen temple. So many beautiful vagrant lichens. Here they are.

He washed and sorted them in our hotel room and lay them all out on a nice clean white bath cloth.... I thought it was a nose business collection.
Ch
haha yay for lichen!!
what makes it vagrant?
The vagrant ones aren't attached to anything. They're wanderers. The collection did look a little bit like nose business or some kind of illegal drug. I'm afraid the Starkeys might see more of the same when we go to SC.
Looking at Steve's definition of vagrant, I would say it's a great word to describe himself. Vagrant Stevinsky and his vagrantito family.
what species was it?
Xanthoparmelia chlorochroa, X. norchlorochroa, Rhizoplaca melanopthalma (vagrant), Lecanora nevadensis, Aspicilia fruticulosa, and A. hispida. It really was incredible. Now I get to see their DNA.
this is no superficial appreciation, that's for sure.
I observed a moment of silence for you. Oh, and the vagrants.
why were there so many in one place? and does it really have that long of a name?
wow.
I think that they met there just for me. Not just one species, but a handful.
Never knew about vagrant lichen before... I'm not sure how I feel about unattached lichen. That's a little freaky! I think that things that grow should stay in one place.... unless it's Sarah Circle. Then, by all means, find a new home when it's right!
I second Leisy's response. "Wow."
Where can you go in Southwest Idaho that is 400 miles from Sarah Circle, Grasmere? The Duck Valley Res?
