Another reason it's good to be back. Much as I have been impressed by New Zealand's Te Papa Atawhai (Department of Conservation)--and it is impressive--they have far, far less to address, culturally, naturally, and historically, than our own NPS. Despite it's ups and downs, ins and outs, backs and forths, and backs, I have held the NPS in the highest regard and affection ever since my first ranger-led hike, in 1970, in the Tetons. Getting to know NPS pros like Michael Ober, Deirdre Shaw, and Lyndel Meikle in recent years has only increased my esteem.
It's a National Park Service-Approved Cell Tower!
Do they decorate the "trees" at Xmas?
