1st image is shown in the video. Without Dump.

Then it mentions "commemerative designs" and shows Dump on the Annual pass.

Video also shows Dump dancing like a jag while Burgham bootlicker explains that Flag day is a Fee Free Day in 26 and "coincidentally that happens to be Dump's birthday too" 💩

Starlight born before I existed, reflected off a silent lake then captured in my camera.

When we look at the stars we are in-effect traveling back in time.

Lower Yellowstone Falls
Grinnel Glacier Trail

First made me care was a trip to Yellowstone and Glacier in 2010

The place which has radicalized me is Yosemite Valley 🏞🫶

A7 a place in Alaska which can only be accessed by a bush plane.

I thought I knew remote wilderness, until I went to AK parks.

Alaska redefined for me both wilderness and remoteness.

A2 there are so many great public lands with amazing horizons. so many magical moments. but i would be lying if i said anywhere but Yosemite... especially if i focus the "most" part of the Q... sheer volume seen more there than anywhere else! #parkchat

Unsure if it was/is the same ascent she is on now but Friday Nov 7 I was live streaming and a few people on my stream ID'ed her. This is her in the red shirt.

Yosemite doesn’t just rise around you — it reaches into you, quietly rearranging what you thought mattered.

I am 95% sure I witnessed a fatality on the north west face of Half Dome. At 445pm a hooting. Then saw what looked like a person in a white jumpsuit. Moment later saw that disappear into outcropping

I was TikTok live streaming Half Dome sunset. Fortunately at that split second I was pointing away 🧵
