You heard me right! For the Outdoor Nation national congress, we had the chance to camp in Central Park with the park rangers. Normally, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near the park at night, especially where we were in ‘the rambles,’ but with our range posse, it was a pretty cool adventure. Of course after one whole night of camping, everyone needed to charge their phones!
Since a normal hike through the New York mist wasn’t exciting enough, the rangers took us places where only their magical keys would let us go. We watched Shakespeare in the Park’s Much Ado about Nothing from the roof of Beldvere’d castle, explored the nature reserve and not so natural water features (all ‘ponds’ and waterfalls have on/off switches!), and learned the corrupt history of the park along the way (everybody and their mother wanted a finger in the design). Probably one of the coolest things I’ve done, I will never be able to look at the park the same way again.
