Date of Visit: May 4, 2026
As we have visited Lincoln Home NHS before, we just made a quick stop for their America 250 and Route 66 stamps. Of course, I had to get some Ranger Dan photos, too, because this is where I got the original Ranger Dan almost exactly ten years ago.

Whether this one is the original or not, we have no idea. The original Ranger Dan lost his hat in the Mammoth Cave parking lot the day after I got him. When we got home, I bought a second one online and we glued his hat on. I also ordered a Ranger Susan, whose hat I took and glued on to the original Ranger Dan.
One of the Ranger Dans stays in my backpack and the other stays in the truck. Which is the actual original we forgot. However, we do know that the one in my backpack has its original head, while the one in the truck is the one I dropped at the FDR Memorial earlier this year and broke the hat. Because we had glued the hat on, in order to replace the hat we had to also replace the head. Thus, the truck one has a new head and hat.
