Hello folks! I’m Ranger Ben Kurns. I want to give you an idea of just how great our national parks are in the hopes that you’ll one day visit them. So, let me tell you some facts about Mount Ranier and some of my experiences there.

Mount Rainier National Park is home to Mount Rainier, which is a massive stratovolcano and is part of the Cascada Mountain Range. This volcano will one day erupt and will hopefully be much more amazing and much more destructive than Mount St. Helen. Otherwise, I will lose all faith in nature.
I built my house near the volcano because I have a bet going on with a friend that when it erupts I can outrun the lava and mudflow in my twin turbo nitro booster Monster Truck. My friend is such a dumbass, I’m totally going to win those 10 bucks.
Mount Rainier is popular for mountain climbing. Ten thousand people per year attempt to climb Mount Rainier. However, only 25% make it to the summit because it is my job to create avalanches in order to make it less dangerous for skiers. No one said I had to make it less dangerous for mountain climbers.
Before white people took the land as God commanded, the mountain was inhabited by the Nisqually, Puyallup, Muckleshoot, Yakama, and Taidnapam indians. Because of this, every time there is a discovery of human remains, all of the various tribes try to claim that the body is one of their ancestors and prevent archaeologists from studying the body. This is very frustrating because I keep telling them that these are just the gravesites of tourists who encroached on my territory, but they never listen. As a result, I am constantly in court being forced to prove that I murdered people indiscriminately just to appease these natives.
One of the most attractive features of the park is located in the Sunrise region, and is known as Subalpine Meadows. Meadows are endangered due to the loss of habitat from invasive biomes such as forests and wetlands. We must all do our part to preserve meadows and to expand them as much as possible. Sometimes we must take extreme measures such as putting metal spikes into the meadows to prevent trees from raping this natural beauty. Remember, only you can prevent forests!
One of the more modern conveniences of Mt. Ranier is the Paradise Webcams. Originally the MountainCam was installed to check conditions on the mountain to make it easier for park goers to plan a safe trip to the mountain during suitable weather conditions. However, due to budget cuts–and my supervisor not checking the cams–I’ve been able to successfully generate a revenue stream by converting it to a SexMountainCam. This is of course the natural progression of all webcams. For only $9.95 a minute, you too can see the mountain getting down and dirty.
I hope my experiences at Mount Ranier will inspire you to check out your national parks. Remember, these national parks are preserved for the people’s enjoyment.
