...On average, Yellowstone Nation park sees a little less than one million people a year, with people visiting in the spring, summer, fall and winter. Billions of photographs are taken here, including traditional landscape photos, wedding photos, and even selfies. Within regulation, drone photography is even possible, allowing people to see the park from a whole new perspective. This mass accumulation of photos creates a new perspective of the national park, and preservers the memory for the rest of existence. However, the mass growth of this nature “repository” leaves many memories forgotten, and images often get buried under piles and piles of cute dog photos and implicit memes. While memes were not an issue back in the 1940’s, the rapid expansion...

...Hello Mr. Davis, I think that we should have a field trip to Lava Beds National Monument Park. It is located near the California and Oregon state border. Only 130,000 people go each year, it compares to nearby Yosemite National Park attracts nearly 4 million people annually. Lava Beds National Park has volcanic rock and underground caves that are full of history and geological wonder. The park has over 47,000-acres, tourists will have plenty places to explore. I know you would probably say no because it would cost a lot of money, but that is why you have a lot of fundraisers for the school. I think going to this park would let us see all the geological features in the park and help us learn about how the lava made all of the lava tubes coming from the volcano. We can explore underground lava tubes that look almost like rocky water slides. Also, to take the guided tours of the park, hike the trails, climb the rocks, and to learn about the natural volcanoes and high desert in northern California....
