Imagine graduating from high school just to have your first “real-world” experience be a potential Bigfoot encounter. For a group of recent grads who celebrated by going camping in Kisatchie National Forest, this is their new reality. They may never know exactly what happened out there in the Louisiana wilderness—or whether they’d been stalked by Bigfoot.

After a pregnancy of mysterious circumstances created a viral sensation, the famed stingray was announced dead on July 1st.

Pennsylvania lawmakers advanced a bill this week to repeal a century-old law banning hunting on Sundays. The measure passed the state house on Thursday with bipartisan support in a 129 to 73 vote.

Kayaker, angler, and photographer Christina Boggs came across the fishing pole while out kayaking at Canyon Lake in Arizona. Realizing how expensive the set-up was, she set about immediately find the owner. Boggs took to social media hoping to track down the angler.

Even rangers at national parks must tire of providing the same advice and answering the same questions over and over again. A handful of rangers at Zion National Park thought it’d be more efficient to just make some signs. They’re good.
