NPS Unit Count: 46 Hey there fellow Adventurers! I am going to start a new part of the blog. I am laser focused on visiting all of the “national parks” (63 and counting as of 2021). I have maintained that I will not go out of my way for the other 360 NPS units andContinue reading “Chamizal National Memorial”

Acadia National Park, ME, Sept 2021
National Park Count: 23 Hello fellow adventurers! I have never seen the fall colors in the Northeast! In fact, since I moved to Florida in 2004, I have seen the tail end of the leaves changing just ONCE, and that was last year, past peak in Hot Springs, AR. In May, the Sidekick and IContinue reading “Acadia National Park, ME, Sept 2021”
New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, WV, July, 2021.
National Park Count: 22 America’s newest National Park, number 63, is New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, nestled in the mountains of southern West Virginia. Just a few weeks after visiting the nations first national park, the Sidekick and I spent a couple days checking out the nation’s newest park and it’s a prettyContinue reading “New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, WV, July, 2021.”
Yellowstone NP, MT/WY and a little of Grand Teton NP, WY, June 2021
National Park Count: 20, 21 Hello fellow Adventurers! The Sidekick and I just returned from a pretty spectacular trip to Yellowstone National Park! This place is out of this world! In case you somehow don’t know at this point, Yellowstone is the largest supervolcano on Earth and the whole area reminds you of that atContinue reading “Yellowstone NP, MT/WY and a little of Grand Teton NP, WY, June 2021”
Dog Road Trip Number 3! BELLA IS A BARK RANGER!?!?! Little River Canyon National Preserve, Russell Cave National Monument, Alabama; and Clifty Falls State Park, Indiana, June 2021.
Hello Adventurers! FYI. If you are wondering and I am sure you are 😉 ;), the Sidekick and I went to Yellowstone and Grand Teton, as scheduled. There is still a lot of work to be done to organize that trip into the blog and YouTube channel. That entry is coming in the next fewContinue reading “Dog Road Trip Number 3!

Mammoth Cave National Park, KY. Dec. 2019
National Park Counter: 13 *I broke this one out of an early post. At the time it made sense to have this bundled with the Macy’s/NYC Trip, but I really think with how different they are, and especially with my National Parks goal that this one should be separate. As such, the national park counterContinue reading “Mammoth Cave National Park, KY. Dec. 2019”
Cuyahoga Valley National Park, OH. Apr 2021
National Parks Counter: 19 Hello Adventurers! Situated in a decidedly not “national parky” spot edging Akron and just 20 minutes or so south of Cleveland is a nice little piece of nature called Cuyahoga Valley National Park. This is a park that has an unusual history! This whole area is settled and dotted with smallContinue reading “Cuyahoga Valley National Park, OH. Apr 2021”

National Parks Counter: 17, 18 Trip number two of the 2021 year occurred in March. My Sidekick and I hopped on yet another Southwest flight out west! Our target this time: Arizona.

Zion National Park, UT/Valley of Fire, NV. Feb, 2021.
National Parks Counter: 16 2021 LETS GO! I am going to start this blog off with something surely controversial to National Parks people. Zion is gorgeous, a wonder, and a must see. It is also underwhelming to its reputation and to put on top of a national parks list is silly to me. As ofContinue reading “Zion National Park, UT/Valley of Fire, NV. Feb, 2021.”
