| 09/06/2008 - 11:53am | Interior Officials Want to Allow Concealed Carry in the National Parks | It's simple Dave, National Parks are NOT immune to crime. If they were, there'd be no argument. |
| 09/06/2008 - 10:53am | It’s Good to be the President When You Visit Gettysburg National Military Park | This is certainly not an objective view of National Parks. You've failed to understand and learn one thing those of who have worked for government have learned, that the more things change the more they stay the same. All Presidents get special treatment when they visit ANYWHERE. I should know, ... |
| 09/06/2008 - 9:43am | It’s Good to be the President When You Visit Gettysburg National Military Park | I realize that your personal pride in the product you post is in full swing, but the first response to your blog pretty much covers the maturity of your current product. All you accomplished with your rant was show a pretty advanced case of BDS. |
| 09/06/2008 - 9:27am | It’s Good to be the President When You Visit Gettysburg National Military Park | I think it's great that the POTUS is visiting what has to be one of the most hallowed places in our country. I wish I was there with him. I'd give him a free tour also. But... he doesn't need me when he has an incredible author and guide like ... |
| 09/06/2008 - 8:57am | It’s Good to be the President When You Visit Gettysburg National Military Park | I usually enjoy reading your blog entries, but what the heck is your problem with the President getting an advance tour of this precious national treasure? I guarantee that every President gets this type of privilege, whether you are a supporter of that President or not. And, I also guarantee ... |
| 09/06/2008 - 7:29am | Yellowstone National Park Reporting Bullish Visitation | Proving that Europeans, who are used to paying VERY high gas prices, are finding gasoline, as well as everything else, a bargain in America. The weak dollar has made it so. We have had our turn when, no doubt, there were many Parisian residents commenting about how they hardly heard ... |
| 09/06/2008 - 6:45am | Lakota Gather Peacefully at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, But Still Insist that the Black Hills Belong to Them | Good research Jim! We must not let bona fide historians distort or de-sanitize the rich cultural history of the great Lakota Nation...even if means using the word "genocide" to it's most appropriate means. |
| 09/06/2008 - 6:23am | Hanna Forcing Evacuations, Closures at Cape Hatteras, Cape Lookout National Seashores | Sad but true: Nature bats last! |
| 09/05/2008 - 8:52pm | Big Bend National Park: Is It Ready For A Mountain Bike Trail? | Ted et al, I just don't know enough about the topography of the proposed trail sites to weigh in on the width issue. I know of a number of state parks that have narrow multi-use trails, including some trails in the GW National Forest in Maryland and Virginia (not a ... |
| 09/05/2008 - 5:48pm | Lakota Gather Peacefully at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, But Still Insist that the Black Hills Belong to Them | After coming back a few days later to read the other comments and opinions posted, I find it so tiresome that there is an academic argument taking place about semantics, and although it is important to prove points, I think it is beneficial to stretch beyond academia (and I ... |
| 09/05/2008 - 9:22am | Lakota Gather Peacefully at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, But Still Insist that the Black Hills Belong to Them | Frank C, you do bring up interesting points but off the topic a bit...wasn't the "Trail of Tears" a form of slow genocide? In my opinion it was! |
| 09/05/2008 - 7:30am | Lakota Gather Peacefully at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, But Still Insist that the Black Hills Belong to Them | Hello: This is the only comment on this board that I totally agree with. We cannot change what happened in the past; we can only go on from today. There has to be some means of accommodation that shows respect for the Lakota sacred gounds as well as share the ... |
| 09/05/2008 - 5:50am | Lakota Gather Peacefully at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, But Still Insist that the Black Hills Belong to Them | It hasn't made the news much yet, but the energy industry and the U.S. government are gearing up for a new mining boom in the Black Hills, this time for not for gold but instead for uranium. Defenders of the Black Hills is trying to get the word out to ... |
| 09/05/2008 - 5:23am | Lost to Hurricanes, the Flamingo Lodge at Everglades National Park Will be Hard to Replace | We have stayed at Flamingo Lodge on two occasions in the past. Both times were in the early spring and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Sorry to hear about the lodge's destruction but perhaps a newer, better place will be the result. Best of luck to them. |
| 09/05/2008 - 5:20am | Backcountry Volunteer Survives 100 Foot Fall While Canyoneering at Zion National Park | Anyone wishing to send their support (cmon' and send her some love!) to Kaitlyn can do so at: www.caringbridge.org/visit/KaitlynBohlin She is in our thoughts and prayers and last week left Las Vegas to Chicago and is healing well and has the greatest personality, strength and determination and I am sure ... |
| 09/04/2008 - 9:18pm | Big Bend National Park: Is It Ready For A Mountain Bike Trail? | I stumbled across this site while researching a trip to Texas for some mountain biking that we want to take in the fall. I appreciate the thoughtful approach the poster and commenters have taken to what is generally a contentious issue. My wife and I (mid-30's) are avid mountain bikers ... |
| 09/04/2008 - 8:57pm | Lakota Gather Peacefully at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, But Still Insist that the Black Hills Belong to Them | Perhaps we oughta tear up the treaty and re-commission the Calvary. Then finish the job. |
| 09/04/2008 - 7:02pm | Lakota Gather Peacefully at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, But Still Insist that the Black Hills Belong to Them | Damn right the Black Hills belong to the great Lakota Nation...without a doubt! Plus, Custer had it coming with those giant mosquito sticks. My dear white mother was born in the Dakota's in the early 1900's and testifies about the horrible brutality that the Lakota's suffered under. Slow cruel systematic ... |
| 09/04/2008 - 5:09pm | Lakota Gather Peacefully at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, But Still Insist that the Black Hills Belong to Them | I have been to the Black Hills a number of times, and I cherish it's beauty. We have it as a result of a grave injustice. That is the truth of it. Is there not some way to share administration / responsibility for that area to acknowledge the Lakotas spiritual ... |
| 09/04/2008 - 4:06pm | Interior Officials Want to Allow Concealed Carry in the National Parks | People are already carrying concealed weapons, getting rid of this rediculous law just makes it legal. 2nd ammendment Duh! |
| 09/04/2008 - 1:10pm | Lakota Gather Peacefully at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, But Still Insist that the Black Hills Belong to Them | Recommended reading: Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee, by Dee Brown. Very moving and well written book. I recently visited Mount Rushmore, and it was moving in all the ways one would expect. However knowing its history and the history of American Indians, particularly in the Dakotas, it is hard ... |
| 09/04/2008 - 1:06pm | Lakota Gather Peacefully at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, But Still Insist that the Black Hills Belong to Them | When are we going to finally come to terms with the reality of US history? This constant denial of the aggressive history inflicted on Native Americans, which includes early attempts at biological warfare, genocide, stealing, lying, cheating and rape of a once pristine land; impedes our progress and relations more ... |
| 09/04/2008 - 12:59pm | Having Suffered Severe Storm Damage, a Witness Tree at Gettysburg National Military Park is Unlikely to Survive | Are you sure onetreehillbuzz.com is the right link? That's what pops up when I click on "this site" on your August 11 posting. [Ed. Sorry. I deleted the link to the "after" site because the relevant story about the damaged tree is no longer available at the site.] |
| 09/04/2008 - 12:16pm | Lakota Gather Peacefully at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, But Still Insist that the Black Hills Belong to Them | I recommend that we give the land back -- to whoever the Indians took it from. |
| 09/04/2008 - 11:57am | Brucellosis Solution: Kill All Elk and Bison in Yellowstone National Park | I know everyone has probably seen the article by now. But those wo haven't.... http://www.normantranscript.com/archivesearch/local_story_246001307 |
| 09/04/2008 - 11:31am | Is Technology Compatible With The National Park Wilderness Experience? | So lets leave our cameras behind while we are at it, down with flash lights and plastic cookware! and thermarest mattresses One thing that bugs me about the 'wilderness experience' is us ultralight hikers who are forced to shave weight and carry devices to aid us in our travels such ... |
| 09/04/2008 - 10:21am | Find Me, Spot. Staying Found in The National Parks | the problem is not the existance of the device but rather the publics preception as to what a emergency is. This is a great tool and will save many lives. I plan on taking a 3 month road trip to alaska in the future with numerous long hikes and kayak ... |
| 09/04/2008 - 6:52am | Big Bend National Park: Is It Ready For A Mountain Bike Trail? | Good questions, Kurt. All NPs offer opportunities for some activities; that doesn't mean all/some NPs should accommodate all activities. I love Big Bend, for its open spaces, ruggedness, aloneness. I think it is big enough that a biking trail would not interfere with other uses -- horseback riding (my thing), ... |
| 09/04/2008 - 5:30am | Park Police Arrest Men Who Brought a Loaded Submachine Gun to a Playground in National Capital Parks-East | How come the NPS arrests people like this (which they should) and allows things like what goes on a Fire Island National Seashore (see below). Aren't these actions crimes? Should the NPS be looking the other way and letting this happen in view of visitors, including kids, in a national ... |
| 09/03/2008 - 7:25pm | Big Bend National Park: Is It Ready For A Mountain Bike Trail? | As an unabashed fan of adding more shared-use trails to national parks, I have to thank "Barky" for a well-considered message. Trail design and construction do more to determine the impacts of recreation than whether the traffic comes from foot travel, bicycles or equestrian use. Adding well-considered mountain biking trails ... |
