Happy #NationalPublicLandsDay from the Gallatin, where we volunteered to join a crew to brush and swamp the local Nordic ski trails.
Apparently, the #jrranger is big enough to handle the pole saw! Now all we need is snow! Season starts November 10.

You wouldn't believe the running commentary I provided to the #jrranger. "Do you know how special this is? Don't make a move. Moose are fiercely protective of their babies. She could kill you without even raising a heartbeat. OMG, it's nursing! Look how sweet! Do you notice the colorings?..."

@jeffhubbard.bsky.social, the New Orleans Jazz National Historic Site visitor center is on the list. This is where I introduced my son to jazz and we both earned our #JrRanger badges. It is a NPS visitor center and community hub in the French Quarter.

It's #WorldKindnessDay and thus I'd also like to share that one thing that helped me and my son during the waiting was to complete one tangible kindness for others every day. (Mr PLL is a first responder, so the #jrranger and I were alone most of the time). /28
A black wolf with a white muzzle walks toward the right side of the frame. The ground is covered with a dusting of snow, and there are dry plants in the foreground. At least 30 bison, crowded up against one another can be seen about 20 yards in the diatance.
Went for a backcountry ski today and also got to see a wolf pack chase a herd of bison around a meadow.
What an incredible privilege to bear witness to this sacred winter ritual.

A ceramic Christmas ornament in the shape of a mug. Votes for Women is written in royal blue on a white background.
If you know me from the bad place, you might remember that we collect ornaments from #publiclands we've visited.
This is from the Belmont Paul NHS, where I also earned my #jrranger badge.

Mr PLL and our #jrranger are making deer sausage and streaming a mashup of the Chipmunk's Christmas album and Charlie Brown Christmas, making the afternoon a 22/10 for gastronomy and parenting.
