The USDA quietly moved to dismantle the Roadless Rule-44M acres of forest now
exposed. Public comment closed before most even knew. No headlines. No warning. Just silence and a vanished safeguard. #RoadlessRule #ForestWatch #tongas #nps
Thank you for the engagement. It really helps us push our content. It especially means a lot to us in this platform since this is the platform that we use to bring awareness of the need to protect our public lands, such as this lovely camping spot. Public lands are for everyone!
This joy can’t be experienced without our public lands. We camped for $0. That’s a good use of tax dollars that we happily pay for.
The rangers are vanishing. The trails are quiet. The guardians of our public lands are being dismissed-not by nature, but by decree. www.npca.org/articles/961...
Alcatraz reclaimed. Everglades defended. Indigenous resistance isn't history-it's the backbone of every environmental fight.

“We have begun sharing our campfire stories on Substack, just in time for the season when stories grow legs, moss gains sentience, and possums start asking philosophical questions.”
We don’t need more roads. We need more old growth. #nationalforests #nps #savethetrees

Mirror and foot peg combo for going topless in the Jeep? Yes please. Support a small business? Absolutely. Support a fellow Jeep Enthusiast? Enthusiastically Yes. This is a really good quality product and it’s nice to have the mirrors exactly where they go when the doors are on. #jeep

A plump orange oak bolete mushroom with a thick white stem and tiny black polka dots grows from a mossy lawn. The orangish brown skin to its cap curves over the edge with a little fringe, resembling a fitted sheet stretched over a mattress. All photos by me
Here is a nice mushroom
Head and long neck of a very tall bird is visible in a marsh-side field of sedges and yellow flowers. Bird has a gold eye, long sharp beak and a big red forehead patch.
Surprised to see this sandhill crane and its partner on the weekend. In a couple of months there will be thousands, but for now, just this peaceful scene #birds 🌿
We got tired of answering questions about our Airstream—so we made a QR code. If you scanned it, hey 👋 welcome. We hope your curiosity leads you to love and protect the outdoors as much as we do. #RecklessDecision #FamilyOnTheRoad #PublicLandsMatter #LeaveNoTrace
Lots of #commerce happens because of our #nationalparks
This isn’t about ensuring history is “based on facts.” It’s about making sure history aligns with this administration’s narrative.
The Trump administration has ordered every national park to post signs encouraging visitors to report anything
