What in the world. Are those…? This is a head scratcher. Taking this back to the station with me. Working the night shift, should plenty of time to sort this out

POWER OUTAGE ALERT! More than 618 Pacific Northwesterners lost electricity last night due to overheated power grids. Keep a backup flashlight handy at all times- you don’t want to bump into a stranger at night!

Boy, it's been an unlucky week for yours truly! Be sure to use mosquito repellant multiple times a day, especially near stagnant water where they breed. You don't want to end up like me!

Litter is the bane of a Park Rangers’s life. Deer, bears, and marmots will try to eat your trash. You don’t want a deer’s teeth to fall out, do you?
#CleanYourCamp
If you knew him, either from his tick safety workshops or his “famous” pine cone collection, please say a prayer for our lost ranger Gus M Burnside. Your words of encouragement would mean a lot to his family while local law enforcement continues the search.
#ComeBackGus
Today is World Ranger Day, an internationally recognized day to celebrate the work rangers do to protect the planet’s natural treasures and cultural heritage!
We want to express our gratitude to all park rangers who work to protect and preserve the environment around the world👏
To count tree rings, start in the middle of the stump, and count outwards to learn its age! And get your eyes checked if you see anything…abnormal
#OregonParks
Finally back at the ranger station! Feeling a bit more like myself after putting that business behind me. Yours truly could really use a drink. It’s “6:00 somewhere” right? Ha ha!
#RangerHumor
Looks like some wiseacre has been vandalizing our signage! Will be reporting this to the Oregon Bureau of Road Sign Maintenance. Road safety is no joke!

Some of my younger followers are calling this account “sus.”
And they’re right, we are SUS: “Serious (about) UV Safety!” Remember to use sunscreen, even on cloudy days!
Terrible night. Headache, nightmares, sweating through the sheets. How did that book have my name in it? I locked it in our storage locker in the basement
Watch out! ⚠️ A rare yellow-throated sterling murmuration spotted outside our visitor center. Beware-they can be aggressive. This one tried to peck my eye!
#EasyThereFella
Was hunting for owl pellets to show the Boy Scouts when I came across the remains of a coyotes lunch! Almost looks like a message- better get my glasses checked!

#SummerFun
Just ran into something awful strange out here. Not sure what to make of it. Figuring out how to upload a video, better get my reading glasses
#StandBy
THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
It’s a dremel. Learn the difference at Ranger Henson’s woodworking workshop every other Wednesday at 11 at our Administration Building
Birds use the strangest things to build their homes. This pine-tree-shaped item fell from a blue jay’s nest. Curious. Nature is a beautiful thing.

Brrr! Winter is upon us campers, so remember to obey all road signage, especially around tight curves. I sense a big change in the weather coming!

Never heard of a “soothsquito” ha ha! Sounds like someone’s been watching a little too much of the “X-Files.” But thank you for your interest in our national parks!
@ImpeckshualSoup
After a long day making posters about tick bite prevention safety, nothing beats a thick cut rib-eye from Tom’s! I fear I’m a beast when it’s dinner time, I can’t have just one eye!
@veryhornygeese
“AI?” Nope, no “armadillo intestines” here. Just all-natural stoat, vole and marmot remains. Stay vigilant- know the difference!
