Wildlife Crossings Pros and Cons In 2015, the Washington State Department of Transportation began construction on a series of improvement to I-90, a key interstate that connects eastern and western Washington. The project includes many measures to improve traveler safety and efficiency such as avalanche bridges, expanded lanes, straightened curves, and replacement bridges (WSDOT-I-90-Snoqualmie Pass East, 2016). However, in addition to those changes, they are also adding controversial wildlife crossing

After much argument, they finally agreed. We quickly got in the minivan (1 of the two cars we had taken up) and drove off. If you’ve ever been to Yellowstone, then you would know that you have to drive a long, long time to get from one end of the park to the other. Zachary 's plan was to go hiking, so we drove for about 20 minutes in the opposite directions of our companions, pulled over in a picture-taking area, got out of the car, and began our adventure. We thought it would be cooler if we

I will be reviewing Edward Abbey’s memoir during his time spent in southern Utah. In his book, Desert Solitaire, Abbey illustrates how the Arches National Monument evolves throughout time and including the time he spends there working as a park ranger and observing the change throughout his adventures. The two thematic concepts I will be incorporating onto his memoir are the urbanization and development lenses. Throughout his memoir, Abbey ties in many thematic concepts to each other, but only addressing

A picture is worth a thousand words. This phrase has almost become cliched but it is a powerful statement that applies perfectly in photography. When good photographers observe a powerful scene that moves them, they will use their talents, skills, and techniques to translate that power in their photography. They can effectively allow their audience to feel the same power they did during their first observation. In turn, this communication of power often returns power to the original scene. This

Chaos to Unity “Is everyone here? Can we finally start? We’re two minutes late!” “Miss President, calm down! The ASB advisor isn’t even here.” The ultimate chaos and confusion of the ASB could be seen by observing the first weekly meeting that took place on a Friday afternoon after a tiring day of arduous classes. The medium-sized, stuffy room in which meetings were held did not aid in enlivening the snoozing council and the burned-out cabinet. Usually, everyone arrived late, the tardiest being the

In the northern part of Wyoming there is a park that holds a long history, both good and bad. Stories of spirits come from the park and one of the stories is centered around one of the hotels in the park. Whispers of a poorly wronged soul who wanders the hotel and while normally a peaceful spirit, she is still capable of violence. Though we will discuss this later. In the frigid Winter, the year of which escapes my knowledge, a young man and few of his friends stayed at the hotel and left with an

El Capitan When you enter the valley, the first thing you probably notice after all of the people is the great granite giant rising up from the meadow and riverbank of the Merced River. This monster is known as El Capitan, my first introduction to this “rock” was when The Guide told me a story about Ozzy and Sharon Osborne’s kid, Jack. Apparently, his idea of going through a rebellious period, and seriously, as the kid of the front man of Black Sabbath, how do you even define rebellion, was to train

Controversies of National Park Expansion Since the early 1920s to the 1970s, there has been a debate regarding the perceptions and standards by which national parks should be established and limiting the expansion of national parks, limiting access for people living in urban areas and threatening open spaces due to urban sprawl and over population. Gradually traditional perceptions gave way to the preservationists’ viewpoints which redefined and gradually expanded federal definition of national parks. This

ecological diversity is necessary for the survival of a biological community. In the United States, American citizens are on the verge of irrevocably damaging one of the country's most unique and diverse treasures - the Florida Everglades. This national park is now the only remaining patch of a river that used to span 120 miles from Lake Okeechobee to the Florida Bay. Dikes and levees created by the Army Corps of Engineers in the late 1940's drained this river to reduce flooding and increase useable
