Tom, you need multiple comment sections, at least one extra halfway through your article so I don’t forget what I was going to say by the time Im done. Since Substack does not support that atm, I’m interrupting my own reading to say -- wut? The Historical Marker Database! The first flight! The ancient tree, still alive, once a landmark, home to trash pandas. Holy moly what riches. I especially love that there’s still the balloons which would seem like a completely normal but meaningless decoration if you didn’t know. But you know!
That’s so cool that you’re becoming a veritable pied piper of nature & exploring. Our adventures definitely make me want to keep pushing further & spending more time outside. (Though Butterscotch the cat also makes time inside pretty tempting.)

Yeah, we had no idea this was right near the house. Viva la HMDB!

Sounds like a fun excursion.
This took me a long time to read, though, because your link sent me down the Historical Markers Database rabbit hole. SO COOL!!!
Also, reminded me of this beautiful scene:

I enjoyed that series. I'll never fly in a balloon, but I love watching them.
