National parks are America’s best idea, and there are more than 400 parks available to everyone, every day. The fee-free days provide a great opportunity to visit a new place or an old favorite, especially one of the national parks that normally charge an entrance fee. The others are free all the time. The entrance fee waiver for fee-free days does not cover amenity or user fees for activities such as camping, boat launches, transportation, or special tours.

Have you heard of "the equilux"?

It literally means "equal light" and is when day and night are equal in length.
⠀
In spring, it happens just a few days before the equinox ("equal night").⠀

Apple's macOS Big Sur

We are coming across issues for WiFi connection for an iOS device to Macs. It seems this is quite common:

With that in mind we do not recommend that customers upgrade to Big Sur until these issues are sorted by Apple.

when I click on wireless icon, I click Network preferences, and I am unable to see configurations as the windows seems to be stuck.

Update: Excellent job, everyone! The pika is indeed on Pinnacle Peak.

Who needs an Elf on a Shelf when there’s a Pika on Peak?
Pika on a Peak has moved on from Foss Peak on her traverse of the Tatoosh Range along the south boundary of Mount Rainier National Park. The peak she’s on now has an elevation of 6,562 feet and is the third highest peak in the range. Name the peak she’s on now to help her continue her traverse.

With more than 500 million visitors in 2020, it’s no secret how much you love your Public Lands. Beginning in 2021, approximately $1.6 billion will be invested into 160+ projects through the Great American Outdoors Act. The improvements will benefit a majority of states and numerous Bureau of Indian Education schools. Additionally, the National Park Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will leverage more than $125 million for 46 conservation projects through the Land and Water Conservation Fund to expand public access, improve hunting and fishing opportunities, and conserve important natural resources.
