Majestic.
Jodi and Jon Crimmins, two of my favorite people in the world.
Am I saying we should buy artwork for our favorite king of the wilderness?
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying.
Jon Crimmins is kind of a legend in this here area — one part Davy Crockett, one part Paul Bunyan, all parts awesome.
Wild animals bow in his presence, and the whole dang Washington state parks system would likely crumble without his hand to guide it.
Doubt me at your own peril.
I’m just saying, you fall off a mountain and get stuck in a crevasse somewhere, surrounded by bears and bobcats carrying napkins, plates, and forks, it’s Crimmins — hair flowing in the breeze like Fabio — who’s gonna drop out of the sky while doing chin-ups on the landing gear of a helicopter and save your behind.
And that’s a guaran-dang-tee!
Anyways … the best GoFundMe in recent memory has launched in a bid to get our park ranger legend some suitable artwork for his office.
It’s not just any paint by numbers mini masterpiece, but an epically etched portrait of an elk which is, and I quote wife Jodi here, the “size of his entire office wall.”
So, you could go buy yourself some ice cream tonight, or you could chip in and help unite man and beast, at least in terms of them sharing the same space.
Go, pop over to GoFundMe, take a gander at the painting, and tell me this is not destiny:
UPDATE: Success!!
Man and beast, united.
