This is a very good post @mudcat36... I'm glad @danielsaori highlighted it... He does manage to find some interesting topics that people post about.
I didn't realize that in addition to your crypto skills you also had a bit of nature savvy in you. I'm very impressed. Now don't get me wrong, I'm easily impressed by something I'm not familiar with! :)
Seriously, that is very cool and I love to see the different pieces of knowledge you have shown us... I particularly like the willow tree as we have many of them and that sounds better than aspirin!
Good job and great post.. I'm glad to see you get some good recognition on it! :)
Thank you my friend. And yes, deep down I'm a massive nerd at heart. Lol. I have a love for most things related to biology and mycology. I don't know if your aware of it but you have a lot of edible plants as well as medicinal ones in your neck of the woods. I spent a lot of time in my teens camping, hiking, and fishing on Lake Santeelah up near Joyce Kilmer outside of Asheville. The vegetation is pretty much the same as over in the Nanthala near you. That region holds a wealth of natural resources in regards to useful plants. Huge deer as well. I spent a lot of time up there in my teens. Only two down sides were the uneasy drive in from Tennessee as you would have to drive that nerve wracking road called the dragons tail, and of course having to go home as I'm pretty sure I could have stayed put for good. It's a beautiful place.
You do know it well! I'm impressed again @mudcat36! yes i didn't realize that we had so many treasures here, but it is definitely beautiful for sure. I know there are many that come here just to explore these mountains. I grew up in Orlando, so we didn't have anything like this ... but maybe I can still get into camping once I find some time from steemit! (and I hate bugs so I will need your suggestions there too!) lol
