After an evening flight to Las Vegas, on Tuesday morning I joined the NRCS Chief and USFS Deputy Chief in addressing the annual conference of the National Association of Conservation Districts.

I spent a short day on the ground, but by nightfall, I was already flying back home for work the next day.
