Hi, I'm Ranger Cindy, and I'm at the Dune Climb here at Sleeping
Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. This park was established on
October 21st, 1970. With over 70,000 acres, anyone will be
able to find a peaceful spot to reflect. We have beaches,
forests, dunes, lakes, and rivers. I have picked this spot
to take part in this year's Write Out,
which is writing a six-word story. What is a six-word story,
you ask? Why, it's a story with just six words! Here is my
six-word story: "Don't underestimate life. Take risks.
Pivot." Let's see what other rangers have for their six-word
story. Hi, my name is Erica and I work in Natural Resources on
the piping plover project. This is my six-word story:
"Hatching piping plovers. Eggs, fledge, freedom." Hello, my name
is Pete Matusik. I work in the sign shop, and this is my
six-word story: "Craftsmen carving dreams into every
masterpiece." Hello, I'm Matt Mohrman, an interpreter at
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
Today I'm dressed as a keeper for the United States Life
Saving Service. And this is my six-word story: "Storms, saving
lives. Duty never wavers." Hi, I'm Scott Tucker, Superintendent
of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, and here is my
six-word story: "Empower bold vision. Celebrate Sleeping
Bear." Hi, I'm Kim. I'm the historical architect at the
park.
I work with all these historic buildings and the cultural
landscapes. My six-word story: "Skeletons rattle, bats flap,
witches cackle." Now it's your turn to find a quiet spot to
write your six-word story. Share what you write using the hashtag
#WriteOut, or sending us a letter, postcard, or e-mail.
Happy writing.
