Yeah, there's a town called "Mirable" in MO, but we all just refer to it as Miserable, Misery. It suits it.
I did my basic training at Fort Lost-in-the-woods, Misery. (Ft. Leonard Wood, MO)

yes we have both blue elderberries and red elderberries
have to make sure you get the right kind though, the others are toxic

My personal experience. i have top to keep out hawks and owls....but mostly to keep out wild song birds as they carry diseases, mites and lice. I have been hit a few times with Cocci. Lost quite a few birds last year too. My main run is now tweety bird proof. The other two runs are 95-97% wild bird free I don't think CL puts tops on hers....but she does have protection at the top to keep out racoons and other vermin.
I do have netting on top of all my coop runs.
(But my birds are let out at least evey other day to free range...)
I also have 2x4" fencing, 6 feet tall, with the rip wires on top, and no-dig at least 12" on the bottoms...BUTT, the 2x4 wire allows weasels and rats and tweeties in.
I have never had any issues with Cocci, here or in OR or in CA.
Lice & mites come & go throughout my lifetime.
best to just keep on top of it with bird dust baths, poultry dust and Permectrin II............and every 6 mo a good worming.
I have ordered Eprinex for this fall's worming..excited about that !
This worms and kills off all parasites so birds can go into winter with no parasite load.
Good night all~~

I just did something like that. Not sure you'd call it leisurely. I went from Yakima, WA to Plymouth WI and back in 6 days. I saw Yellowstone, Black Hills of SD, The Badlands in SD, a few other places that have no significance to anyone else but me -- oh.. and I stopped at the Battle of the Little Bighorn (Custer's last stand).
It was -- therapeutic.

sounds exhausting, not enough time to relax & take "it" all in...

We once drove from here to Maryland and back in 14 days with visits to Dinosaur National Monument, Steamboat Springs Co, The St Louis Arch, Mammoth Caves in Kentucky, Blue Ridge Parkway, Monticello (my favorite part of the trip), Jamestown (both the real place and the cool hands-on mock-up), Virginia Beach, 3 days in Maryland to surprise a friend on her 40th BDay, Ocean City, then we drove by every house DH ever lived in (2 in New Jersey, 3 in Minnesota), then on to The Corn Palace, Badlands, Wall Drug, Mount Rushmore during an evening thunderstorm, Sturgis when all the bikers were there, a gohst town way out in the middle of no where in Montana (we were going to go to see the Anaconda mine and discovered it had been closed for like a decade, so we continued on the windy back road and found the town), and from there we headed back home. DH likes fast paced see it all vacations like that. I feel like I need a nice, relaxing vacation after a trip like that! We were feeling rather broke at the time, so instead of eating out, we stopped at parks in small towns and had picnic lunches and dinners, and let the kids play - much better that traveling interstates and using rest stops. We feel we saw more of America that way, and met lots of nice folks who would stop and talk to us when they saw our license plates. The kids were 3 and 5 at the time, and Olivia was traveling with a cast on as she had broken her arm before we left. The worst past of the trip was in Topeka, KS. We drove straight through from Denver to St. Louis with a short, overnight stop in Salena. Alex was getting really bored in the back of the van, so he decided to pull the grape juice cartons out of the cooler and stomp on them. Everything in the car got coated with sticky purple juice!

Yup, although they're not easy to get established- the blue ones especially. There's also a native Red that is a deep-shade plant, and the black ones, although those are unusual.

Getting out and seeing new stuff is healing, no doubt, but that much time in the car is wearing.

Yes, I have some too; and huckleberries, lots and lots of huckleberries! Chickens love huckleberries, but they cannot reach them. The neighborhood kids come over and pick them to feed to the chickens. 2 little kids stopped by today and asked if they could hold the baby chicks - they have not been here since mid-June. I sent them to the coop without telling them what they would look for and continued to pick weeds. They came back out because they couldn't find the chicks
. Ten to 12 week old pullets are not very interesting to little kids.
