NASA sampling industry moon landings? It looks like NASA is looking ahead. And well it ought to, due to long range planning of previous Moon landing. We all should do that sometimes.

Want to take a Ride?

The American River bike trail, ARBT, runs with no bumps or potholes, nearly, from downtown Sacramento Discovery Park to old Folsom, both are Pony Express stops. It's 35 miles of ''green traveling'' along a well maintained asphalt pathway following the American and Sacramento rivers. Some spots are even being fenced off and replanted. . Drinking water and portable outhouses are provided, no worries for tired riders or bike tires. Very scenic, lots of trees, plants, bushes, Grey  or Ground Squirrels, the occasional pet, and of course, bicycle riders. There are many access roads from Folsom, Sacramento and places in between. Many will drive from Folsom, park the car, ride or raft to Sacramento, driving or bicycling back home. I rode one way in 3 hours, very scenic. You could be careful by having an extra tire, but that's just in case. . From the trees and such, it's a quiet ride mostly, but the trail crosses under several more than 2 lane roads, it's ''God's bicycle country''. In any case, you will see only bicyclists or joggers of both sexes only. Many days will see empty trails; however, it's a good sign in seeing others, knowing your bicycling efforts are not alone. . There is at least one sign, thank you Department of Public Works and County Parks, with 100's of Golden Poppies, California's State Flower, this 2014 Spring. . So we gravel roads run parallel for maintenance trucks that travel the route and keep all up to shape. It's well travelled, but well maintained. A riding rules and large map are available from county parks.
