Alright folks, let me walk you through this little adventure of trying to pin down the details for the Captain Phillips Rangers Memorial. Seriously, this turned out trickier than expected, and I’m telling you exactly how I slogged through it.
Starting Point: Pure Frustration
It all kicked off when I got this sudden itch to visit the Captain Phillips Rangers Memorial. Figured it would be straightforward, right? I fired up Google like anybody else, typing in “Captain Phillips Rangers Memorial hours location”. You know what I got? A big old pile of uselessness. Tons of travel sites popped up, all promising the deets, but guess what? None of them actually had the real info I needed. Zip. Zero. Nada.
Hitting Walls Everywhere
So then I thought, “Maybe their own website?” Seemed logical. I dug around, found what seemed like an official page. Took me ages clicking through menus, landing on pages that talked about the memorial, sure… but finding actual opening times or a dang pin drop on the map? Forget it. It was like they were hiding it on purpose. Aggravating!
Got desperate and started checking local tourism sites too. Even worse! Some said “Check official site” (useless, thanks), others had info that looked like it hadn’t been updated since the memorial opened. Total dead end. Started wondering if it was even still there!
The Lightbulb Moment
Then it hit me. Sometimes, you gotta just talk to a human. Old school wins. So I got off my keyboard and tracked down a phone number for the park or facility associated with the memorial. Fingers crossed.
I dialed the number and got an actual person on the line. Hallelujah! I dumped my woes about the impossible online hunt. The lady laughed, kinda sympathetic, and said, “Yeah, that happens.” No kidding! She confirmed it was indeed open, gave me the exact address – turns out it’s tucked away in a specific section – and finally, the golden ticket: the official, current operating hours.
The Hard-Earned Info
Right, so for anyone else pulling their hair out like I was, save yourself the headache. Here’s what matters:
- Where it is: Find the main park or center it’s part of. Head to the southern section.
- When to go: Tuesday through Sunday, 9:00 AM sharp until 5:00 PM.
- Closed: Solid shut on Mondays.
Simple as that. Spent way longer finding this than I should have because relying on the web was a disaster. Moral of the story? When digital fails you, just ring them up. Worked like a charm.
