Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Parker examines some of the creatures found in the museum's collection.

 

Parker and a stuffed Passenger Pigeon - he didn't see any live ones because they're extinct.

 

Parker with some students at Pi Beta Phi Elementary School where he helped judge the Science Fair.

 

The rangers invited Parker to take part in a control burn. But first he had to get get some training and take a pack test - walking 3 miles in less than 45 minutes with a 45 lb. pack. Parker made it ...

 

...but just barely!

 

Parker poses for one last picture with the staff before heading to Effigy Mounds.
