]]> Comment on Militarizing a National Park by Rob Zakrzewski http://thebackpackershandbook.com/2009/03/19/militarizing-a-national-park/#comment-447 Rob Zakrzewski Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:14:32 +0000 http://kitherring.wordpress.com/2009/03/19/militarizing-a-national-park/#comment-447 Wow! My family and I were there in January and didn't have that experience at all. While on the big island, we made it to all four national parks (junior ranger program / rewards are AWESOME!) and had amazing customer service at each of them. The most helpful Ranger was George Enuton at Puukohola Heiau. He took the time to get our 8 year old son excited about participating in the junior ranger program without "pushing" him into it. He also spoke to the group of people at the park about it's history and did a fantastic job bringing all of the park's guests into the conversation. Hopefully you were able to find some of the Aloha spirit during your visit like my family did. Wow! My family and I were there in January and didn’t have that experience at all.
