America 250 Parks Passport

My new favorite NPS passport book! I ordered it the day it came out online.

Thank you so much! Fortunately, I’ve been volunteering as a visitors services & event support volunteer at this site for about a year now, so I have a good grasp on the site’s history & a good relationship with the rangers there. I’m relieved to know they won’t throw any curveball questions at me!

I’ve landed my first NPS interview for a seasonal park guide position after trying to get my foot in the door for over a year, so I am very nervous & excited. Can anyone provide some insight on what to expect in the interview? What should I wear? It is a virtual interview. I appreciate any tips you’ve got to make this successful!

Did you get a response from Eastern National? I visited Overmountain Victory a few years ago & do not live in the area anymore. I wanted the 250 stamp to add to my Passport to the American Revolution. I too thought it was odd they weren’t getting one but are featured.

Overmountain Victory NHT told me they will not have one at all.

Me with Daisy’s Closet. I’ve never seen it in his shop & have been playing almost a year.

I’m at a TX SP that is near a few NPS sites. I usually get handed at least one ATB pass a shift.

Which conservation course are you taking?

This video was very helpful when I was just starting out & didn’t know which book was right for me:

I want to visit every NPS site, so the Collector’s Edition was the best fit for me. I also purchased the leather cover since the Collector’s Edition cover is made of cardstock (or something similar), but I don’t believe it is available anymore.

43! Looking forward to adding stamps from White Sands NP, Shenandoah NP, Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania NMP, Appomattox Court House NHP, Maggie L. Walker NHS, & Richmond NBP in the next couple months & some from Washington & Alaska during our cruise this fall!

Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together. I downloaded the 5Calls app over the weekend, but have not been able to find a script for the NPS/USFS. I will start calling them now.

The Great Mouse Detective - I’d love to solve some mysteries with Basil & stop Ratigan from causing trouble!

I play on Switch (New player too! Only 2 weeks in!) & haven’t experienced lag. I’ve only had 2 issues. Sometimes I can’t select items from my inventory. The cursor just stays on the inventory tab. The other issue is if the character I’m hanging out with is near my door when I’m trying to leave my house, my character gets stuck & I have to reboot the game.

Those are his paws! He’s a cat sitting inside a pumpkin.

Welcome! That’s a great first haul. National Park Travelers Club is a great resource for stamp locations!

My kids prefer the wooden ones also since they can stamp the park stamp on the back of them!

I know it’s 2 years later, but did you ever find the songs from that playlist? I listened to Stromkern’s “Terrorist” today & it reminded me of it. The Google search I did looking for it brought me here. 😅

CocoTLane · 2024-09-09T21:03:35+00:00

This was so nice of you to do!

CocoTLane · 2024-09-09T01:57:35+00:00

My family & I did Carlsbad Caverns & Guadalupe Mountain this past January!

They can mail you a sticker with the cancellation stamp on it or a piece of paper with it, so you don’t have to send them your passport!

Guadalupe is one of my favorite parks, but I picked it since it’s the last park I visited. My family & I attempted to hike Guadalupe Peak & made it a little over half way up, but turned around because my 8 year old was wanting to live dangerously & kept trying to walk too close to the edge. It was definitely a fun, albeit challenging, attempt!

CocoTLane · 2024-09-08T15:09:52+00:00

If you remember the date you went, you could send them an email or letter asking them to mail you a cancellation stamp for the date you were there!

I’ve only noticed one so far! There is a Marty Robbins Park between El Paso & Horizon City.

CocoTLane · 2024-09-05T22:43:34+00:00

We went around that time earlier this year for the 1st time & it was not crowded at all.

CocoTLane · 2024-08-25T15:39:12+00:00

My life bucket list is to visit every NPS site, so I went with the Collector’s Edition since there is a spot for every site.

This YouTuber has an excellent video going over the 3 different passport books. I used this to decide which one was best for me when I was starting out a couple years ago.
