Great story and beautiful pictures submitted by Xris on August 12, 2022, 12:25am Great story about how a trail cook cooked when men were on a trip to make the National Park Service. The pictures are beautiful! The title is misleading though, where you think Tie was the one who dreamt up the whole service, but he wasn't. He just cooked for the people they were trying to persuade to vote for it.
