    Greetings from Great Falls Park

    I've been here many times, on both sides of the river, and always marvel at how beautiful and powerful and unique are the falls and the Potomac -- all this just a few miles from my home in Northern Va.

  • Greetings from Yosemite National Park

  • Greetings from Buffalo National River

    For many years now, we have traveled the backroads of Arkansas, just south of Harrison, to a place called Erbie.... Two adults, two dogs, two horses in a fair size rig with an LQ. We cherish every moment we've shared in the primitive horsecamp there.... riding some of the most…

  • Greetings from Mount Rushmore National Memorial

    The western end of South Dakota will always hold a special place in my heart. For as long as I can remember, my family made an annual pilgrimage to those welcoming, beautiful Black Hills. As I grew up, I began to cherish those trips more and more. I was able…
