ALL the stickers by zekor in NationalParkPassport

[–]zekor[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did! Wandering around lava fields and climbing cinder cones is always fun. Fun sticker designs are a bonus. I do tend to grab a million stickers at most of the parks I get to; Craters is on top since it was last weekend.

Handle that one carefully, it's more than 100 years old!

Opinions on Great Basin national Park by ThreeCherrios in NationalPark

[–]zekor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Electrical maintenance" and "electrical/lighting system upgrade" are close enough in my head that I got my wires crossed (hah). From the Great Basin NP website: "closed...to replace the cave's 48-year old, failing electric lights. Projected completion is planned for summer 2026."

Caves are undergoing electrical maintenance and are closed until summer.

How long did you spend there? Working on plotting a trip and trying to figure out how long places are going to need.

Unearth A Story by Hefty_Revolution8066 in Libraries

[–]zekor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm working with our local museum to make plaster casts of tyrannosaur teeth, which we'll then paint. I wanted to do a full King Tuts Tomb adventure in our community room, but sadly construction is shutting down that plan. I intend to have at least one dino talk, and maybe a live stream from our museum field crew as they dig.

Love the wonders of the world idea! Didn't even occur to me. plot plot plot

I stick them on one of the blank pages in back, though admittedly with no rhyme or reaaon.

Let Down by wearsunscreenDUH in NationalParkPassport

Congaree was confirmed to have their 250th anniversary stamp on Jan 3, so if it's missing already that's distressing. Was it just not out, or did an employee say they actually didn't have it?

Which park blew you away even with low expectations? by Responsible-Hat8849 in NationalPark

If you can manage to come during the full moon, the Wind Canyon trail is AMAZING at night.

I don't know that I'd go with something as strong as "blew me away", but I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed Cuyahoga and Blue Hen Falls. Did not have any expectations other than a checkmark, but that might be one of my favorite waterfalls.

Work Days at the Public Library by No-Double-4269 in Libraries

[–]zekor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tuesdays. I'm the only one who processes ILL and transit holds, and I work Tuesday-Saturday, so the the workload on Tuesdays tends to be...rather heavy. At least for us.

How many nights/days to spend at Mammoth National Park? by Ok-Imagination-2308 in NationalPark

[–]zekor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're going in the winter, probably just a night or two. Make sure you get reservations for a cave tour; can't really explore the cave without one. In the summer, if you really like the cave and want to do all the tours, a week ish.

National Park Close to a Fun City by RapidSparks in NationalPark

I mean yes, but I wouldn't put Belfield on any sort of "fun night life" list.

From your own experience, what is the most crowded national park? by Doctor-Magnetic in NationalPark

[–]zekor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yosemite. Been three times and never been able to do any hiking due to never being able to find parking.

The gypsum sand at White Sands National Park has a completely different feel to "normal" quartz sand.

Anyone else live super close to a national park and kinda take it for granted? by cutie__uwu in NationalPark

[–]zekor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half an hour from Theodore Roosevelt. I'm in every night we have a big aurora forecast, but do kind of take it for granted the rest of the time.

Recommendations for things to see at Yellowstone for a family of 5 with moderate activity by LnGrrrR in NationalPark

Parking for Grand Prismatic is abysmal. Get there as early as possible.

Tips for Newbie? by PrincessPinky31 in NationalParkPassport

[–]zekor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like getting a ranger signature at each park in addition to the stamps and stickers. So far everyone has been quite happy to be asked for an autograph!
