Wow, that’s amazing! I’d feel lucky to see just one — I think I’d faint at fifty!

We hit the visitor center first thing. The rangers are always surprised by our kids with over 20 junior ranger pins. 🙂

Sweden is a great place to spot moose 🙂 I’m Danish but my uncle lives in Sweden, and he sometimes sees them walk through his garden! If you end up not seeing any, there are parks where you can go on moose safaris in your own car – guaranteed sightings! 🙂

Alaska is a great place to see moose! When we went a few years ago they were plentiful… We had to see close to 50 in the two and a half weeks we were there!

Absolutely! I agree that in theory, the idea of states controlling some portions of federal public land sounds innocuous — it’s only when you do a big of digging that you understand why the idea has so little public support.

I too was a bit late to the National Park game, but I am 100% on board with how important and amazing they are! We have to hold our representatives accountable and not let them be swayed by corporate interests. I especially appreciated your point about how the impacts of deregulation/land sales cross state boundaries. We often value individual/states rights over the greater good, and forget that we are all connected. Water, air, chemicals, pollutants – they don’t know state or country borders.
