On our first day at Acadia National Park, we got a good look at a baby red fox running in and out of thick vegetation, as if it was playing hide and seek with us. We were staying at the Schoodic Education Research Center, a short trek away, and from then on we looked for the baby fox each day.

On Visiting the Galapagos: Don’t Touch the Animals (despite them being all around you)

The summer of 2011, my dad planned a trip to show me the Teton Mountain Range and Yellowstone, the first National Park in the world, created in 1872. We were scheduled to leave June 16th; the idea was to beat most of the other tourists. However, weird weather wreaked havoc on our plans both before we left New Hampshire and once we arrived out West. Who would have thought a strong wind burst would blow through Plymouth in June, snapping trees and causing a power outage resulting in school being cancelled for a day.
