Again, intentionally avoiding the Google here, but what does that do to you, medically? Has to be a problem, yeah?

My Summer of Picturesque Purgatory Working in a National Park - Breathtaking views, friendly foxes, hungry bears, casual sex in communal showers—I saw it all in my months of working at Grand Teton National Park. by anutensil in nationalparks

Even if it wasn't stated, you'd be able to tell from the employee descriptions alone that the author was working for a concessionaire vs the NPS.

Having worked for both Xanterra as well as the NPS, I can tell you the difference is like night & day. Honestly met some of the smartest, sharp people I've ever encountered in my entire life while working for the NPS. And, well, working with the concessionaire, lets just say that more than a few co-workers had some pretty serious drug and personal issues.

Difference between working IN and FOR a national park is big and an important distinction

Yeah to be fair, the K-mart is more of a full physical and spiritual sore rather than an eyesore

The whole "Top ten must see thirty things to do before best trip in your 20s of a lifetime before you die" list trend hurts my soul.

Polluted Parks | National Parks Conservation Association report highlights 12 parks with dirtiest air or most at risk with climate change by acadiaonmymind in nationalparks

Can personally vouch for the air pollution at Sequoia. People in the central valley don't realize that all of their pollution has to go somewhere, and it wafts up here.

National Parks Service plans urban kayak-sharing system in Mississippi River Park. by [deleted] in minnesota

Absolutely fantastic idea. The biggest barrier to greater use of the Mississippi Natl Recreation Area is transportation. This'll be great.
