Aahh. This is the type of calendar quirk that I dream about. Tomorrow's summer solstice, in the four-o'clock PM hour, June 20, will be the earliest which the solstice falls on the calendar since the year 1796. The reason is that the leap year adjustment which occurs almost every four years (note that 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not leap years) serves to hammer back the solstice calendar day a bit too much. For the remainder of this century, there will be a fair number of other June 20 solstice dates.

The summer solstice marks the onset of summer, occurring twice a year in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is recognized as the June solstice, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it is referred to as the December solstice. #SummerSolstice #JuneSolstice #DecemberSolstice

The Oregon Trail, the tale of a time gone by. No, folks, we’re not talking about the video game (one of the oldest there is, historic in its own right). We’re here to discuss the Oregon Trail, carved in the mid 1800s as the general route of one of the largest migrations in American history. It’s estimated to have hosted more than 400,000 westward travelers during that time. Like the game suggests, these pioneers faced harsh conditions, including diseases like dysentery and cholera. As the Trail evolved, wagons wore ruts into the ground, which provided a notable pathway for those coming after. Most interestingly, evidence of some of these tracks are still in existence today. Read more about it in this fascinating article, which helpfully details some of the locations where you can still find these ruts from the original Trail today. https://lnkd.in/eJiUjE2K #dovetailculturalresourcegroup #meadandhunt #archaeology #preservation #understandinghistory #architecture #oregontrail #americanhistory #migration
