Stopped at the Oasis Visitor Center many times during my stay. Their parking lot was the nearest place I could get LTE service but also has some cool educational displays.

And some more displays & dioramas detailing history of the park, geography, and wildlife. Two main reasons for this post: first is to drop pins on my geo-mashup page (see it here)…

Secondly and more important was this candid shot I got of a junior ranger being sworn in. Check out his dad cheesin’ out top left. I just happened to be standing there and snapped a quick photo & sent it to the guy. Kid got really shy and didn’t want to repeat the pledge, gave us all a chuckle. Whomever you were from Colorado good on you!
