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.

Beautiful Santa Monica Mountains

DateSunday, June 12, 2011 at 01:41PM

Last week we began work on a long-range interpretive plan for the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.... which meant, of course, that we had to journey to this incredibly scenic expanse of mountains and historic ranches, where you can stand on a hillside and see NO signs of civiization... less than an hour from Los Angeles!  Amazing!  Nearly 17 million people live in greater LA, and here we are out in the wilderness, only 45 minutes from LAX, talking about recent spottings of mountain lions. We also visited Paramount Ranch, where westerns (and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman) have been filmed... but that's a story for another day.
