Haylan Makes Adventure

I know this space is called Haylan Makes Stuff, but Stuff isn’t the only thing you can make; I’ve also made plenty of adventures and memories. I work as a seasonal park ranger, and go to as many sites as I can. Where available, I do two things; buy a sew-on patch, and complete the Junior Ranger program where it’s available. When you do, you get a free wood/plastic badge or patch, and that’s the only way you can get those items.

To show off my badges and patches of both kinds, I sew them onto flags every January. Junior Ranger programs usually consist of a workbook to complete, sometimes an activity or ranger talk.

When I work as a park ranger one of my favorite things to do is Junior Ranger for kids, and I’ve been lucky enough to create a full program for one Forest. I have a few of my earnings on a Junior Ranger vest, which is fun to wear during activities with the kids.

Anyone can do Junior Ranger, no matter your age. On duty, my oldest Junior Ranger was 88, and the youngest was 11 months old. Some places have different books/badges available, like Senior Ranger for adults, or Junior Angler, Night Sky, etc. Screw Pokemon, I gotta collect all these.

The hardest program goes to Bandelier; it took two adults to do it and we still struggled! Did you know about Junior Ranger? Do you have a favorite? Do you collect anything while you travel?

THE AMERICAN BUFFALO (2023; dir. Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan)

Episode One: “Blood Memory”

There is no story anywhere in world history that involves as large a destruction of wild animals as happened in North America – in the Western United States in particular –between 1800 and 1890.

– Dan Flores, American cultural and environmental historian

A cold wind blew across the prairie when the last buffalo fell... A death wind for my people.

– Sitting Bull, Hunkpapa Lakota leader

We have seen the Indian and the game retreat before the white man and the cattle, and beheld the tide of settlement move forward, which threatens before long to leave no portion of our vast territory unbroken by the farmer's plow or untrodden by his flocks. There is one spot left: a single rock about which this tide will break, and past which it will sweep, leaving it undefiled by the unsightly traces of civilization. Here in this Yellowstone Park, the large game of the West will be preserved from extermination in this, their last refuge.

– George Bird Grinnell, American conservationist and anthropologist

I want to go on another kind of self-indulgent bonkers niche trip that nobody I know would want to accompany me on

Like in 2021 when I went to Ohio to visit a famous grocery store and took detours to visit the American Sign Museum (a museum about vintage advertising mostly) and a memorial to a certain naval disaster

#maybe I'll go somewhere with some places run by the national park service and stamp my nps passport book #the beauty of a silly niche trip is how inexpensive it can be too
