Can you explain this link a little further? It looks like there's so many fireflies at this national park that they have to grant access via lottery? That's amazing, I'm on the east coast and would drive to something like this. Is it really as awesome as I'm imagining?
- dontbenebby 4y agoAnd posts like these are why they need a lottery, some things should be esoteric knowledge and kept offline.
- ramesh31 4y agoWell, GSNP is the most heavily visited National Park in the US, so that's mostly it. There's really nothing special about this place in particular though. The whole area is lit up right now.
- dontbenebby 4y ago>Well, GSNP is the most heavily visited National Park in the US That's a fair point! But did people know that it's specifically known for the fireflies? :-) (I'd expect most people look at a list of the most visited and pick based on things like cost and drivability and adjacent issues, like costs of mosquito nets, but I can understand if it's literally just "yeah, in natural parks there's lots of nature, why does this suprise dontbenebby?")
