  • Hike the Parks
    Hike the Parks ~Rulebook~ Hello! Welcome to Hike the Parks, a U.S. National Parks game with authentic hikes and cool facts. Roll the dice to visit new states, territories and Park Sites; learn cool facts at the Visitor’s Center; go on hikes; and take pictures! Brief Summary: 1. The winner is the first player to reach 200 Joy. Change the amount to shorten or lengthen the game. 2. Joy is earned by going on hikes, taking pictures while on hikes, meeting nice hitchhikers and optionally earning badges along the way. 3. Players roll two die to travel to different U.S. states. For example, if a 2 & 3 is rolled, a player can move across a maximum of 5 state borders to visit a park for that turn. If a player only crosses 3 of the 5 allowed borders for that turn, the remaining 2 CANNOT be carried over to another turn. 4. A player gains one Energy and one Water for each state border crossed on their turn. For example, traveling from Washington to Alaska gains two Energy and two Water. 5. After crossing at least one border, a player must draw one On the Road card for that turn. If the player remains in the same state, they do not need to pick up an On the Road card. 6. After visiting a new state or deciding to stay in the same state, a player may visit one Park Site (or stay in the same Park Site) and “visit its Visitors Center” by drawing a Visitor’s Center Trivia card to learn about a random National Park Site.

  • William and Margaret Mccalla: the 1938 Trip Through the Northwest United States
    From June 15 to September 1, 1938 William and Margaret McCalla travelled 4,852 miles through the Northwest United States collecting and photographing wildflowers. Each kept a journal. This is a record of their journey. William and Margaret McCalla: The 1938 Trip Through the Northwest United States Compiled by Robert (Grandson) and Peggy McCalla, Halifax, NS 24 May 2017 1 Acknowledgement This compilation has been a labour of love; it’s also been educational. However, we could not have done the work without the support of people who gave freely of their time and interest in the affairs of William and Margaret McCalla. To Dorothy Fabijan and Jocelyn Hall of the University of Alberta Vascular Plant Herbarium Museum where WCM’s plant specimens are archived, thank you. Also, to Wayne Murdoch of the Provincial Archives of Alberta, many thanks for your encouragement and scans of lantern slide images. Our thanks are extended to Chantal Dussault and Laura Smyk of the Canadian Museum of Nature for your support in cataloguing the black and white images in the many volumes of WCM photographs in your possession and supplying selected images. We are especially grateful to Donna Clandfield (grandaughter of WCM and MM) for supplying the original journals and Eric Stewart (great grandson of WCM and MM) for technical support and encouragement. We acknowledge mistakes exist in the compilation. Not everything was easy to decipher from the handwriting; botany is not our expertise and Latin names were a challenge. Let us end with the words of WCM when speaking to an evening group at Scarboro Church in Calgary on November 2, 1936: “For three score years I have found pleasure and satisfaction in Outdoor Nature, and for almost two score of these years I have carried camera and note book on all my trips, short and long….Most people find some emotional pleasure in nature.

Many of the most destructive diseases are not represented in the data because these agents are not detectable from aerial surveys. The maps and data presented should only be used as a partial indicator of insect and disease activity, and should be validated on the ground for actual location and causal agent. The insect and disease data are available digitally from the USDA Forest Service, Region Two Forest Health Management group. The cooperators reserve the right to correct, update, modify or replace GIS products. Using these data for purposes other than those for which they were intended may yield inaccurate or misleading results. This product is reproduced from geospatial information prepared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service. Geospatial information from other federal, state, and non-public sources may also have been utilized. GIS data and product accuracy may vary.
