Appreciation post for the ranger at Yellowstone who called me out on some park lore
I was out by the Grand Prismatic Spring last month and this ranger overheard me telling my friend that the colors came from pollution, and she politely but firmly set me straight about the thermophilic bacteria, which made me realize how quick I am to believe the worst about human impact when nature is just doing its thing.

Last year I confidently told someone the Grand Canyon was formed by a meteor because I mixed up two different national parks. So you're doing better than me.

Wait, is that really something worth worrying about?

Nah, I once told a coworker the Amazon River was in Africa, so you're both doing fine.
