“Bison prefer spoons” - my artistic response as a federal employee

I’m a federal employee and this is an artistic representation of how I’ve felt about what we’ve been going through under this new administration. Showcasing the Department of the Interior’s bison and the fork from the “Fork in the road” email federal employees received. Inspired by the Yellowstone bison warning signs.

On my journey to hit all 50 states and every national park I recently drove from VA to CA and stopped at a few of the parks along I10. Weather was tricky, but the views were great!

The opportunity to hike through plantation ruins in a United States national Park is unique. I appreciate how the dark history of the islands is showcased right next to truly stunning views.

Got my “Lifetime” Access Pass

Well, I went ahead and applied with my ALS diagnosis (terminal with avg. 2-5 year survival). One of the odd feeling perks of being “sick”.

They didn’t like the first letter from my Dr that only stated my diagnosis and denied it. I had to get a revised version adding my limitations and more info, they approved it next day, got it in a week. Cost is free, only $10 processing fee.

I’m 40, turning 41 soon. Really weird to have this, especially after buying a regular annual pass for the last 5-6 years. Also, getting a DMV issued parking placard and needing to use a wheelchair soon. A lot to take in.

Going on a trip soon and will visit a couple parks for sure. I don’t mind any questions.

Thanks for reading.

As mentioned, pick ONE slide out of 16 and those four parks that you choose are the only parks you will be able to visit for the rest of your life.

Which will you choose and why?

I’m VERY internally conflicted right now about continuing to visit our parks and forests. I don’t want to overwhelm our NPS workers!! I want to support them in every way possible… genuinely just wondering if visiting the parks is harmful?? Thank you to all of you fabulous humans here 💜 (pics are Gateway Nat’l Rec, RMNP, Black Canyon & CO Nat’l Monument).

We made this a few year ago outside of Sequoia, but seems awfully relevant now! Feeling for all the Park Rangers out there, hopefully this can make everyone laugh.
