WHY has Congress approved a rain forest for Iowa? It doesn't make any

$50 million would buy a lot of airline tickets to El Junque, Puerto
Rico, the only rain forest in the US Park Service.

What? Olympic National Forest doesn't count?

El Junque is a tropical rain forest.
What kind of rain forest is Olympic?

They call that a temperate weather rain forest. There's at least one in Washington
State and another larger one in Canada.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

Even the one in Washington is considerably larger than El Junque.

Even if you want to limit it to tropical rain forests there are tropical
rain forests in Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii.

There is also the National Park of American Samoa, which contains rain
forest.

IOW, don't believe all the hype you hear from the cruise lines. El Junque is
not the only rain forest in the National Park system. Nor is it the only
tropical rain forest. It may be a very nice rain forest for all that, but
claiming that El Junque is the only one is a little like Brazil claiming
that the Wright Brothers did not really fly and therefore Santos-Dumont was
first.
