Spoiler Alert:  These are the answers to my recently launched "Public Lands Puzzles" series: Word puzzles naming our nation's vast and beautiful public lands. To get next month's installment, just drop me an email.

Uh-oh. Are you stumped?  Find the answers to Public Lands Puzzle here:

Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, Folkston, Georgia 

Scrambled: KKOOEEEENF ANNOLIAT FELLIDWI FREGUE

Known to early Indian tribes as “The Land of the Trembling Earth,” the Okefenokee is a vast cypress swamp (actually a type of peat bog) on the Georgia-Florida line. Think alligators -- lots of alligators.  My favorite adventure there:  Watching a family of sandhill cranes step delicately through the wetlands. The baby was still young and clumsy on long unsteady legs, like a foal.  He kept falling down in the muck. See samples of our work on the visitor center.

Swimming Anyone?

DateMonday, February 20, 2012 at 10:23AM

A lone lifeguard chair remains at Horseshoe Bend Beach in Montana's Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area.

I'm spending most of a Georgia January daydreaming of faraway places -- I'm working on interpretive materials for places 'way out west. Like Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area in Montana, Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument on the Arizona Strip, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge along the Rio Grande, and a legendary, not-exactly imaginary place called Paramount Ranch just outside Los Angeles, CA. Lots of classic Westerns were filmed at Paramount Ranch.
