Managing livestock and working in the sawmill just a couple miles away as a way to supplement income who in 1914 was granted her final certificate of patent for the land on which she lived after outliving both her children and her estranged husband Per the Homestead Act of 1862 all it took to be granted a claim on the land was to be 21 or older and own less than 160 acres of land Acquiring the title (or certificate of patent) was much more difficult requiring the land be occupied for six months out of the year that a house be built on it within five years of settlement and proof that some amount of income was made off the land itself the land could be purchased for $1.25 per acre or if the property was managed for a full five years the title could be purchased for $15.  Today history buffs and adventure seekers can make the trek up the Lion Gulch Trail, N St Vrain Dr with whole buildings intact or refurbished through volunteer efforts in the past decades All that remains of the Walker Homestead are foundations and ruins of the three-room cabin The parking lot for the Lion Gulch trailhead could easily be mistaken for a turn off on U.S though the parking lot can fill quickly by mid-morning with high temperatures and little water to be found on the trail itself The trail sustained damage during the 2013 floods Winding back and forth across a stream that can be full to bursting during late spring and early summer thaws the grade of the trail can be rough and rocky Evidence of homesteaders and modern encroachment can be seen on the trail from sheet metal to the rusted remains of an old farm vehicle hidden in the underbrush narrow path widens out into lush green meadows and aspen groves A pleasant loop around the initial valley adds roughly a half-mile to the hike with branches of trail leading off to other homestead locations The Irvin Homestead is the most intact of the group Not far from there the sawmill can be found hidden in the forest trying to see every homestead location in the valley can make for a solid 16-mile hike Proper footwear and plenty of water is recommended The Irvin settlement was a full 320 acres at the time the certificate of patent was issued in 1917 ownership of the land changed hands more than a few times The buildings eventually came to be used as a hunting camp during the 1960s and additions to the site were put in the land wasn’t well suited to farming Most homesteaders instead took to cattle ranching timber and trapping to help feed their families Often these places were only occupied for the six months per year necessary to maintain a hold on the land Settlers already had established homes in nearby towns and spent the summer months in the mountains This story was made possible by our Community Leaders

在纽芬兰岛北部半岛的一角，有11世纪维京人(Viking)的聚落遗址，这是欧洲人踏足北美大陆的最早证据。遗址出土的木结构泥草房屋遗迹同在格陵兰岛和冰岛发现的十分类似。 на оконечности Большого Северного полуострова острова Ньюфаундленд являются свидетельством первого появления европейцев в Северной Америке Раскопанные остатки зданий из торфа с деревянным каркасом похожи на аналогичные найденные в Северной Гренландии и в Исландии Situado en el extremo de la Gran Pení­nsula del Norte de la isla de Terranova este parque alberga los vestigios de un asentamiento vikingo del siglo XI que prueban una primera presencia de los europeos en el continente americano desde esa época Las excavaciones han puesto al descubierto vestigios de edificios construidos con terrones de turba y armazones de madera aní¡logos a los encontrados en Groenlandia e Islandia L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site contains the excavated remains of a complete 11th-century Viking settlement the earliest evidence of Europeans in North America Situated at the tip of the Great Northern Peninsula of the island of Newfoundland this exceptional archaeological site consists of eight timber-framed turf structures built in the same style as those found in Norse Greenland and Iceland from the same period on a narrow terrace overlooking a peat bog and small brook near the shore of Epaves Bay in the Straight of Belle Isle Artifacts found at the site show evidence of activities including iron production and woodworking as well as indications that those who used the camp voyaged further south The remnants correspond with the stories told in the Vinland Sagas which document the voyages of Leif Erikson and other Norse explorers who ventured westward across the Atlantic Ocean from Iceland and Greenland to find and explore new territory a significant achievement in the history of human migration and discovery Criterion (vi): L’Anse aux Meadows is the first and only known site established by Vikings in North America and the earliest evidence of European settlement in the New World it is a unique milestone in the history of human migration and discovery L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site is of sufficient size to ensure that the property is protected and takes in the full extent of the known Norse remains in the region Its boundaries extend far beyond the areas that contain Norse archaeological remains thus providing ample protection of the complete representation of the features and processes that convey the property’s Outstanding Universal Value L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site is in stable condition The archaeological site has been reburied in such a way as to protect the remnants from deterioration There are no known or anticipated threats to the property it is not at risk of degradation and does not suffer from adverse effects of development or neglect the totality being managed as a National Historic Site by Parks Canada Agency L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site is authentic in location and setting Ample archival evidence shows the property to correspond with the journeys described in the Norse sagas Extensive archaeological research after the site’s discovery in 1960 revealed that the timber-framed structures were constructed with a particular type of gabled roof and covered with turf taken from the surrounding peat bog fireplaces and openings followed the characteristics of Norse design Excavation uncovered evidence of iron production at the site and stone artefacts that confirm the Norse origins of the property and provide important information on the work and lifestyle of the site’s occupants L’Anse aux Meadows was established as a National Historic Site in 1975 under a Federal-Provincial agreement between Canada and the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador The property is legally protected under the Parks Canada Agency Act (1998) and the Canada National Parks Act (2000) and the site has a management plan in place which is reviewed and renewed at regular intervals The management plan requires that the resources directly related to the reasons for designation as a national historic site are not impaired or under threat; that the reasons for designation are effectively communicated to the public; and that heritage values are respected in all decisions and actions affecting the property The agreement that established L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site states that the Government of Canada and the Government of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador shall consult together to ensure that the future development of the communities and areas adjacent to the property is planned jointly and is in keeping with their proximity to this internationally significant property Parks Canada manages visitation and conservation at the site and the artefact collection associated with the Viking base camp is stable and is displayed and/or stored under appropriate conditions Special attention shall be given over the long term to monitoring for issues that could impact the state of conservation in the future and taking appropriate actions to protect the site One of the most rewarding parts about hiking is reaching the destination at the end of the trail sometimes that means alpine lakes and awe-inspiring views or in other cases, the trail takes hikers on a trip back in time The Homestead Meadows hike in Estes Park gives a glimpse of what life was like over 100 years ago in this northern Colorado town Unlike other local ghost towns that were settled by miners, the Homestead Meadows site was built up by a group of men and women who agreed to help improve the land by living there The Homestead Meadows hike is located in Estes Park.\nRead More The Homestead Meadows hike in Estes Park gives a glimpse of what life was like over 100 years ago in this northern Colorado town This year's Night Sky Festival has been postponed Allow your eyes time to adjust; it takes about twenty minutes for your eyes to become accustomed to the nighttime darkness You may be surprised how well you can see by starlight Make a red flashlight or use one with a red LED use red paper or cellophanes to cover the white light of the flashlight Red light allows your eyes to adapt better to the darkness than white light while still providing visibility for safety grab your binoculars to get a better look the fuzzy spots in the sky overhead use the binoculars to gaze upon the Milky Way Educate yourself on the constellations overhead with the use of a star chart or a star finding app downloadable for your smartphone or tablet When venturing out to stargaze in the park make sure to bring a red flashlight to journey from your car to your destination as summer nights are often cool on the mountain ridge Bring a blanket or a set of chairs to sit on The proliferation of development and associated installation of lights without thought to the impact those lights have on the night sky and grounds security all contribute to what is referred to as light pollution One estimate indicates that about 30% of all light generated in the United States is wasted; costing billions of dollars Outdoor lights provide many benefits but improved consideration of night sky concerns in their design and application is highly beneficial in reducing light pollution and the associated wasted energy In addition to interfering with our ability to see celestial bodies and astronomical events light pollution has a detrimental environmental impact Some believe that declines in moth populations are linked to attraction to lights and subsequent death may be more vulnerable to predators at night if there is more artificial light Many species of wildlife are influenced in their activities by star and moon light including some migratory bird species which depend on stars for navigation Light pollution interferes with their travels The nocturnal creatures here in Shenandoah- owls and insects to name a few- benefit from the wide swath of forest that remains dark at night The National Park Service is concerned about our contribution to light pollution and has set policy that seeks to reduce or eliminate the adverse impacts of light pollution as part of the National Park Service’s Night Skies Program undertook a study to review how we use outdoor lighting and consequently implemented suggestions to make it more efficient improving night sky viewing opportunities involves reduction in light pollution so that people can see stars and planets above Yet here at Shenandoah it’s also important to note that some of what would otherwise be regarded as light pollution is beautiful to people Many park visitors stand at overlooks along Skyline Drive at night and view with warmth the twinkling lights of the small towns and communities in the Shenandoah Valley or the Virginia Piedmont a visitor might look up at the Blue Ridge from the Valley and see only the dark strip of the Park the silhouette of mountains blending into the evening sky a reminder of a previous time before electricity Regardless of how you might experience the night don’t forget on occasion to look up at the skies Modeling Light Pollution from Population Data and Implications for National Park Service

Click here It’s important to the park and its visitors that the history of the North Fork settlers is not forgotten Although many of the structures are afforded some protection as historic places fire can erase some of these old homesteads The 1988 Red Bench Fire destroyed three of the listed homesteads The historical and archeological research documenting the personalities and lifeways of these pioneers now informs interpretive exhibits and programs offered to park visitors located at the site of the original Jeremiah and Margaret McCarthy cabin highlights the experience of the McCarthy’s and other adventurous homesteaders who once called the North Fork home Hopefully by understanding the lives and dreams of those that once met the challenge of life in the wilderness contemporary park visitors will be inspired to support and appreciate the long-term preservation and stewardship of these rare historic resources The North Fork Valley attracted pioneers well before the establishment of Glacier National Park the North Fork Valley experienced rapid development in the late 1800s the Great Northern Railway completed its transcontinental line from St Minnesota to the West Coast via Marias Pass providing a nearby connection for the settlers of the North Fork Valley to sell resources to a national market The discovery of oil seeps around Kintla Lake prompted the Butte Oil Company to clear a 40-mile wagon road (now the inside North Fork Road) through the forest in 1901 it encouraged settlement on the east side of the Flathead River William Adair opened a mercantile on the new road in Sullivan Meadow 44 homesteads flourished on the east side of the valley The North Fork of the Flathead River served as the park’s western boundary Due to a provision within the Glacier National Park Act which stated “That nothing herein contained shall affect any valid existing claim...” the 44 east side homesteads were now private lands within Glacier National Park an improved road was constructed from Columbia Falls up the west side of the North Fork Valley William Adair saw this trend and moved his mercantile west of the river founding what would later be known as the town of Polebridge and making the west side the cultural hub of the North Fork Valley There was a stark difference in land use policy between the U.S The Forest Service had helped to improve roads and logging; all those activities were now prohibited under the jurisdiction of Glacier National Park Private land owners felt that the NPS had an unofficial policy of trying to extinguish private property title every homesteader on the east side of the river signed a petition requesting that the North Fork Valley be removed from the park’s boundaries “We submit that it is more important to furnish homes to a land-hungry people than to lock the land up as a rich man’s playground.” Park Superintendant Logan responded by saying “Instead of giving up any land there I think we should take steps to obtain more land; in fact get rid of every settler on the North Fork of the Flathead River." Congress appropriated nearly $200,000 to acquire private property within Glacier National Park’s boundary The NPS offered to buy the properties of east side residents at half of the value and insisted that all of the owner’s property must be sold in a single package A lump sum of money was very attractive during the Great Depression but the residents protested that the offers were too low The NPS received another Congressional appropriation for land acquisition in the 1950s to acquire more private property there were no year-round residents living on the east side of the North Fork Valley conducted extensive research on the homesteads in the North Fork Bick’s study describes the historic patterns and architectural history of the early settlers in the North Fork Valley titled “Homesteading on the North Fork in Glacier National Park,” resulted in the listing of seven North Fork homesteads in the National Register of Historic Places The homesteads captured the interest of archeologist Douglas McDonald from the University of Montana McDonald’s team of undergraduate students inventoried approximately 40 homestead sites Their inventory work included recording descriptions and conditions of the sites identifying potential threats to the integrity of each site and evaluating them for listing in the National Register of Historic Places This inventory has enhanced the historical knowledge of the early settlers in the North Fork Valley The Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center North Fork Homesteads Resource Brief (213 KB) Dog Lake Trailhead (Courtesy Yosemite National Park) Undated Picture of Domestic Sheep Tuolumne Meadows (Yosemite National Park) Marshall’s survey party might have come from before they reached Dog Lake and where they headed from there Maybe that might give me a clue related to where they found the dog and if they brought it out with them Marshall’s survey journal might be available online and I searched when I got home with no success I didn’t get all of my questions answered so am still pondering some of them Dog Lake Trailhead Map (Yosemite National Park) https://www.yosemitehikes.com/tioga-road/dog-lake/trail-map.htm You must be logged in to post a comment Appleton-area students celebrated their prom night showing off their best dresses with themes like "A Starry Night," "Tangled," "The Golden Gala" and more See all the joy and fun in our prom galleries below featuring Appleton high schools and Hortonville High School See 28 photos from Neenah High School's prom at Homestead Meadow Farms in Appleton Check out 28 photos from Hortonville High School's prom at Homestead Meadows Farm in Appleton See 36 photos from Appleton North Appleton East and Appleton West high schools' prom at the Hilton Appleton Paper Valley hotel in downtown Appleton A growing collection of reader-submitted prom photos from schools across Wisconsin Check out this gallery of historic archived photos of Wisconsin high school proms from throughout the 1900s. United StatesChevron ColoradoChevron Ron and Patty Thomas/GettySave this storySaveSave this storySaveThe best hikes in Colorado are so much more than a chance to get some exercise They’re also immersive experiences that invite travelers to slow down and engage all of their senses—like pausing to hear the call of a white-breasted nuthatch or breathing deeply to inhale the scent of pine And whether you’re an experienced mountaineer or more of a casual ambler, you’ll find plenty of routes that meet your criteria in Colorado which is home to more than 39,000 miles of trails The best hikes in the state are as diverse as the landscape itself taking travelers through colorful and ever-changing terrain—from wildflower-dotted meadows and craggy red rock formations to golden-hued aspen groves and cerulean alpine lakes Before your next trip to the Centennial State, toss a pair of sturdy hiking boots (and a few pairs of hiking socks) into your bag dig into this list of the best hikes in Colorado This article has been updated with new information since its original publish date Colorado’s Mount Sanitas is easily accessible from downtown Boulder Easily accessible from downtown Boulder but still very difficult because it gains 1,323 feet of elevation As you pass by striking rock formations and through grassy open meadows on the way to Mount Sanitas’s 6,843-foot summit you’ll have expansive views of Boulder’s cityscape and the plains beyond Turn this into a longer loop by taking the East Ridge and Sanitas Valley trails back to the trailhead including the 2.6-mile round trip Cedar Gulch route but one that offers sweeping views of Golden tack on the 1.6-mile Mount Galbraith Loop at the top of this 7,260-foot peak meaning you won’t have to worry about dodging speedy mountain bikers on the way up or down Fish Creek Falls is perfect for beginners and experts alike The hike to the base of the falls is only a half-mile round trip so plan to extend your trek to a second waterfall Upper Fish Creek Falls (around 5 miles round trip) or beyond to Long Lake (13 miles round trip) In the far southwest corner of Colorado, Mesa Verde National Park protects more than 52,000 acres of land inhabited by ancestral Pueblo people starting around 1,400 years ago The park is best known for its 600 cliff dwellings but it also has plenty of ancient rock carvings—including those visible from the Petroglyph Point Trail This 2.4-mile loop is short but challenging since it gains more than 220 feet of elevation and requires careful maneuvering among boulders and sandstone staircases you’ll be able to marvel at a large petroglyph panel showing handprints Shrine Ridge offers views that can compete with Switzerland's greenest dales Get acclimated to Vail’s altitude by slowly meandering to the 11,899-foot summit of Shrine Mountain then later adopted by settlers and silver miners this four-mile round trip trail climbs through meadows dotted with pine trees until it reaches the top of the impressive peak in Colorado’s Sawatch Range stop and catch your breath while taking in the panoramic views of Mount of the Holy Cross and the ski runs at Copper Mountain resort A glassy, alpine lake awaits at the top of the 3.6-mile round trip Strawberry Lake Trail near Granby but just keep putting one foot in front of the other and lily pads dot the water’s surface and colorful dragonflies flit about Estes Park is the eastern gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park But some of the region’s best hiking routes are actually outside of the park including this 2.8-mile out-and-back route (5.6 miles round trip) through the towering aspens and pines of Lion Gulch Wander past the crumbling remains of eight homesteads built between 1889 and 1923 and keep an eye out for moose This easy, out-and-back trek is the perfect way to start a day in Loveland, a charming city that’s roughly an hour north of Denver Located within the 3,007-acre Devil’s Backbone Open Space the Hidden Valley Trail is just 3.2 miles round trip But if your legs—and lungs—are feeling good you can easily extend your hike by continuing on to other connecting trails like the Hunter Loop and the Laughing Horse Loop you’ll be hiking alongside spiky rock formations that look like vertebrae (or dinosaur back plates) sticking out of the ground The iconic rock formations of Colorado offer picturesque rest stops along the Royal Arch hike a historic park and cultural center that dates back to 1898 A favorite among locals is the hike up to Royal Arch which offers views of Boulder’s iconic Flatirons and ends at an arched rock formation Hikers can connect to the Royal Arch Trail from a handful of other trails all departing from the Chautauqua Trailhead but the most direct way is 3.4 miles round trip and is an intermediate/difficult route which encourages travelers not to geotag lesser-visited areas to prevent overtourism) A variety of landscapes greet intrepid travelers hiking Arthur's Rock Trail Just west of Fort Collins, the 3.4-mile round trip Arthur’s Rock Trail inside Lory State Park climbs 1,100 feet and offers views of Horsetooth Reservoir and the Front Range beyond is not as the name implies—it's a true slice of hiking heaven The name is a bit misleading, as Purgatory is actually an easy to moderate four-mile one-way (eight-mile round trip) route near Durango in southwest Colorado After winding through aspen and fir forests where hikers can gaze out at the West Needle Mountains and Spud Mountain Link this route with the Animas River Trail for a longer journey Located inside Colorado National Monument near Grand Junction on Colorado’s Western Slope this route once served as a toll road for transporting livestock and timber starting in the 1880s it’s a scenic but aerobically challenging hiking trail that’s also open to horseback riders The 4-mile one-way (8-mile round trip) path starts at the Devils Kitchen Picnic Area then gradually ascends 1,600 feet over mostly slick rock through colorful cacti This route between Mohawk Lakes goes through alpine tundras and scenes of verdant evergreens Located south of Breckenridge this alpine tundra route starts at the Spruce Creek Trailhead and traverses 6.8 miles round trip through evergreen forests past Lower Mohawk Lake and Upper Mohawk Lake This intermediate trail climbs nearly 2,000 feet of elevation and offers views of the 13,164-foot Mt This intermediate hike gains 1,600 feet of elevation and it can easily be broken into smaller sections if you’re short on time or feeling the altitude get over to the Rattlesnake Canyon Arches Trail The high-desert route travels through reddish-orange Maroon Bells is one of Aspen's most photographed sites—and for good reason For a more adventurous hike, consider trekking from Aspen to Crested Butte (or vice versa) via the West Maroon Creek Trail and the West Maroon Pass Trail Though these two mountain towns are more than 100 miles apart by car you can hike between them in less than a day There are also shuttles from the trailhead to several Crested Butte hotels if you could use a hot shower and a night off your feet before making the return trip connect Peak 10 to other summits like Crystal Peak or Peak 9 up-to-the-minute voice in all things travel Condé Nast Traveler is the global citizen’s bible and muse We understand that time is the greatest luxury which is why Condé Nast Traveler mines its network of experts and influencers so that you never waste a meal or a hotel stay wherever you are in the world VirginiaChevron Meadows of DanChevron What's the backstory? The land was acquired over several decade by the late French oil baron and billionaire Didier Primat. His heirs now own Primland as well as Domaine des Etangs, a restored 11th-century château turned 29-room luxe hotel in the Charente-Limousin region of France. While Primland's location in rural Virginia is worlds away, the resort does have a surprising European ethos. And the service? The service was great—relaxed, familial, warm, and not at all stuffy. I interacted with several young adults who grew up in the area and were familiar with the resort, and all of the activities available in this part of the country. What about the neighborhood? Does the hotel fit in, make itself part of the scene? It is beyond rural. No other building or development for miles and located in the wonderfully named town that feels straight out of The Lord of the Rings: Meadows of Dan. Is there anything you'd change? Virginia is hot and steamy in the summer; a pool would be a nice addition. Any other hotel features worth noting? The hiking is spectacular and the property is stunning. This is Nature (with a capital N)—I met a black bear on my hike. Bottom line: Worth it? Why? Yes. It's a rarified window into a part of the country that doesn't get a lot of press.

Skyscraping mountains and plunging canyons sweeping deserts and towering trees — all dramatic landscapes most readily associated with the national park system rimmed by lilies and rushes and lighted by thousands of neon-green lightning bugs that first inspired the protection of those great landscapes It was there that a young John Muir — known as the father of the national parks — and his family settled after emigrating from Scotland in 1849 Muir was just 11 when his family settled in Wisconsin religious man who put the Muir family to work on the new homestead Muir and his siblings often worked 17-hour days But the young Scot made the most of the limited free time he had riding horses through meadows and woods blanketed in flora from oaks and hickories to orchids and ferns He feasted on strawberries and cranberries that grew along the Fox River and learned to swim in Fountain Lake by imitating the frogs that called it home "The water was so clear that it was almost invisible and when we floated slowly out over the plants and fishes we seemed to be miraculously sustained in the air while silently exploring a veritable fairyland," he wrote in his book "The Story of My Boyhood and Youth." "This sudden splash into pure wilderness — baptism in Nature's warm heart — how utterly happy it made us!" he wrote wooingly teaching her wonderful glowing lessons so unlike the dismal grammar ashes and cinders so long thrashed into us Here without knowing it we were still at school; every wild lesson a love lesson That glorious wilderness playground is still there now part of John Muir Memorial Park in Marquette County The lake where Muir learned to swim still glimmers in the summer sun; the meadows are still blanketed with goldenrod and aster; burly oaks and hickory trees still dot the landscape Gone are the prairie chickens and their booming mating ritual Muir wrote of gone are the passenger pigeons that migrated overhead in droves what Muir described as "a mighty river in the sky." There are more trees now as fire suppression has allowed for more hardwoods to sprout Visitors today can follow Muir's footsteps in exploring the land although the path is a little more defined A 1.7-mile segment of the Ice Age Trail loops around the 30-acre kettle lake the trail cuts through an oak opening and past a prairie on the north end of the lake Continue following the trail through a stand of hardwood trees including burr and black oaks and shagbark hickories before crossing a bridge over a small creek that passes through a sedge meadow on its way to the lake It was that meadow that was one of Muir's first targets for preservation "The preservation of specimen sections of natural flora — bits of pure wilderness — was a fond, favorite notion of mine long before I heard of national parks," Muir said in an 1896 speech to the Sierra Club noting that he had asked his brother-in-law (who owned the land) to sell him 40 acres of the lake meadow to "keep in untrampled for the sake of its ferns and flowers; and even if I should never see it again the beauty of its lilies and orchids are so pressed into my mind I shall always enjoy looking back at them in imagination Muir's brother-in-law didn't share his vision for preservation but the conservationist's wish came true in 1957 when Marquette County bought the first bit of land on Ennis Lake that would become his namesake park In 2014, the park got a big boost when the Natural Heritage Land Trust purchased a 198-acre farm on its northern edge. That farm included 38 acres of the original Muir homestead (60 of the original 320 acres were already part of the park) Part of the purchased land will become part of the Fox River National Wildlife Refuge, which is just west of the park while the eastern portion of the land will go to the Ice Age Trail Alliance for continuation of the segment that circles Ennis Lake The current trail segment continues around the southern edge of the lake passing more oak openings and vibrant fern colonies that Muir wrote of a granite monument pays tribute to the man who in addition to fighting for the national park system was the founding president of the Sierra Club And it wasn't just this land that helped shape Muir into one of our country's greatest conservationists The hard labor and long days on the farm instilled in Muir a work ethic and tenacity that would serve him well in his wanderings out west It was those wanderinga that led him to the Sierra Nevada and Yosemite which he would convince President Theodore Roosevelt to visit and camp in 1903 Three years later Roosevelt signed legislation designating Yosemite Valley as a national park following a 17-year fight by Muir and the Sierra Club Ten years after that and two years after Muir's death Congress officially established the National Park Service Upcoming events: The Wisconsin Friends of John Muir and the Ice Age Trail Alliance will celebrate the National Park Service's centennial at John Muir Memorial Park on Saturday The event will include an early morning bird hike speeches from national park service officials and local politicians group hikes around Ennis Lake and various workshops Registration is required at iceagetrail.org/nps100. The Wisconsin Historical Society is celebrating Muir and the NPS centennial with a special traveling exhibit "Wisconsin's John Muir." The free display looks at Muir's time in Wisconsin his fight for the national parks and his views on the environment It's traveling to libraries around the state through the end of the year and will be on display at the New Berlin Public Library through Monday, the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center Aug. 2-15, and in Fort Atkinson Aug. 16-29. See wisconsinhistory.org/muirexhibit.

SegmentNext you will be committing robberies for various purposes Robbery is an integral part of Red Dead Redemption 2 as you will do these both outside and outside missions we have drafted the RDR2 Robbery Guide that will focus on the various locations and the walkthrough of each of these robberies These kinds of robberies have been here forever. Homestead stash Robberies are available in RDR2 right from the start of Chapter 2. During homestead robberies, you must find and retrieve a certain stash hidden away in that house and Doing them when everyone is sleeping is the best way to complete homestead robberies We would not recommend robbing a house in the middle of the day This homestead stash robbery is a bit darker than the others because of the encounter you will have You’ll come across this homestead to the Southeast of Emerald Ranch.  you’ll get the feeling that something is not quite right mainly because you’ll find some bones in a cabinet upstairs If you accept the couple’s offer for a drink You will wake up in a ditch and then have to go back for your money Kill them and take the money back from behind the painting in the dining room Then loot the woman’s body for a Silver Chain Bracelet that is needed for the Bear Claw Talisman You can then proceed to loot the rest of the house.  you can just kill them right away and skip the whole encounter before looting them but that’s less fun).  A father and son live in this homestead that is located directly south of Braithwaite Manor and south of Rhodes What’s interesting about this homestead is that you can see a story play out every time you revisit it you hear an argument between the father and the son.  The second time you see the father sleeping outside while the son is in his room the father will be very angry because the son is missing and the father will be the one missing.  If you’re just interested in looting then from the start Then go inside and take down the father before threatening the boy into giving you the location of the stash It’s in the chimney that has the double-barrel shotgun hanging above it (which you can also collect)  This is the first Homestead robbery you can do so approach Javier at Horseshoe Overlook once you finish The First Shall Be Last  You two will then ride to the Chez Porter across the Dakota River You’ll have to walk for a bit and then spy on the house with binoculars you’ll get your chance to move in closer so take cover behind the rock to the right while Javier makes a distraction by setting a shed ablaze Take out the enemies as they approach the burning structure and then get ready for more to show up out of the house and barn.  You can rob the Chez Porter homestead once you’ve cleared the area of enemies Be sure to collect the hidden stash from under a crate in the barn get the Pump Action Shotgun from the bedroom.  You can visit this homestead with Sean during a companion activity in Chapter 3 This homestead is South of Emerald Station They might pass out if you wait long enough and then simply sneak in to loot the house Just spare one so he can tell you about the location of their stash.  be sure to collect the  Double-Action Revolver from a weapon case under a bed  This mansion is located directly south of Van Horn You can try sneaking into the basement during nighttime or come during the day and kill both people there to start looting especially the bag of money on the table.  This cabin is Northwest of Wallace Station and north of Strawberry an old woman will confuse you with someone else and tell you to leave the “delivery” down in the cellar you can collect the Semi-Auto Shotgun from a weapon case and loot other things while she yells at you from upstairs she’ll call you out for robbing her and swear her sons will make you pay.  so kill them all along with her (she’ll be shooting at you too) before going inside to loot the lockbox on the table loot the chest in the corner and the nearby nightstand for more collectibles such as the Gold Earring you need for the Boar Tusk Talisman.  You can find this homestead by the Northeast edge of the world map after you complete the quest ‘A Fork in the Road’ during Chapter 6.  and when you help her with a shooting lesson during one of these visits you’re allowed to loot a Jewelry Box in her bedroom when you wake up.  Stagecoach robberies are available from the start of the game but you make robberies more profitable by completing the quest ‘The Spines of America’ of Chapter 2 As soon as you complete the quest ‘Friends in Very Low Places’ of Chapter 3 you can unlock six additional coach robbery missions.  You will need to talk to two specific ‘discouraged’ employees at the post offices to get hints on the location of the six coaches.  You can find Hector in the Strawberry Post Office and Alden in the Rhodes Post Office you will find notes in your suitcase that reveal more information on your targeted coaches.  Hector’s first tip informs you of a coach from Blackwater coming to River Road near Fort Riggs so you can run at it guns blazing or take up a vantage point on top of the mountain past the river break open the lockbox at the back of the coach and get $110.  This is the second tip you get from Hector collect money from the box at the back.  The third tip from Hector points you West of Strawberry An armored coach is carrying the bank’s money to Owanjila and throw the stick into the coach to blow it up Then retrieve the money from inside before getting out of there.  Alden will give you this tip the first time you visit him This stagecoach is carrying antiques just Northwest of Blackwater You can see the location by checking the North Scarlett Meadows Coach Tip in your inventory.  Go to the location and wait for the stagecoach to appear you can lie to the driver so that one of the guards has to check the wheel You can then take out all the guards by using your Dead Eye skill you can rob the coach as soon as you see it but the previous method is more efficient.  carefully drive the stagecoach to Seamus at the Emerald Ranch Fence to get paid Ensure you don’t drop any statues by driving recklessly and he’ll inform you that this carriage is heading through a road southwest at Bolger Glade then take out the driver as soon as it arrives.  and interrogate him until he points out the location of the lockbox drive the carriage over to Seamus for $25.  It’s about a coach approaching the Railway bridge northeast of Hill Haven Ranch so the best approach is to stand on the bridge and snipe the guards from a distance Loot both coaches when you’ve taken out all enemies You can collect cash from lockboxes at the back of each coach.  Have you ever been scammed by a shop so bad that you’ve wanted to rob them You can do this in this ultimate crime simulator: Red Dead Redemption 2.  Shop robberies are a unique part of the Red Dead Redemption 2 Robbery feature Do note that some of the shops have small stories to tell and rewards for you to claim and he will reveal the shop’s deepest secret.  you can hear a boy asking for help from the basement Threaten him with a gun until he takes you down to the basement to where the boy is The boy is a kidnap victim because he resembles the Gunsmith’s missing son.  Shoot the boy’s chains to free him and then loot the Lockbox along with the Weapon Case that has the Lancaster Repeater in it.  Enter the gunsmith in Saint-Denis and knock on the locked door in the backroom so threaten the shopkeeper until he unlocks your door Immediately melee the guard inside and threaten him so that he tells you the location of the gambling room upstairs.  Head up to the third floor and enter the second door Grab the money from the table and then check the vault behind the guy standing there.  Head to this story in Strawberry and check for a window under the front porch you can see the shopkeeper’s illegal moonshine business so head inside the store and threaten him at gunpoint.  He will then take you down to the basement and although there initially appears to be nothing of value there you need to be persistent in your threats until the shopkeeper reveals the location of a hidden stash behind a loose brick This robbery location is unlocked in Chapter 2 go to the doctor and demand answers at gunpoint.  but you need to be ready since you’ll be shot at the second he does Take out all the gamblers and the young lady then get out of there with the money on the table and the Schofield Revolver from the weapon case Robbing shops in Red Dead Redemption 2 also count towards the Bandit player challenge.    You will find this robbery in Red Dead Redemption 2 at the Rhodes Bank.  A Train Robbery in Red Dead Redemption 2 is similar to coach robberies You have to wait for a train to arrive at your location and hop onto it Then you must head towards the engine car and threaten the driver to stop the train Train robberies are an integral part of the Red Dead Redemption 2 Robbery scheme They can also be done multiple times.  Do note that quite a few handsome men will guard all trains You must dispose of them before you can safely rob a train and you will gain that “WANTED” sign.  Now that you’re well acquainted with all the robbery locations in Red Dead Redemption 2 here are some of how you can be an effective robber:  In the online component of Red Dead Redemption 2 While all locations exist the same as they do in the story mode you won’t be able to rob every single we’ve listed above.   Homesteads can only be robbed if you are
