  • Greetings from Great Basin National Park

    Growing up in the 50's and early 60's my parents took us three kids to the Nat'l parks and monuments out east when we went back to visit the relatives. In the late 70's and early 80's we took our kids to several nat'l parks and monuments in SD, WY,…

  • Greetings from Great Smoky Mountains National Park

  • Greetings from North Cascades National Park

    North Cascades is my retirement choice, after a career rangering from Everglades to Denali.

  • Greetings from Eisenhower National Historic Site

    I was lucky enough to spend two summers as an intern at The Eisenhower National Historic Site. During that time, I was able to explore Eisenhower's life and times. EISE is such an amazing place!

    Greetings from Isle Royale National Park

    Well, you can't really say "Greetings From..." You have to say "Greetings After Being There," because Isle Royale National Park doesn't dignify internet coverage. And that's the point of being on Isle Royale. I could write about this place being unique because it's 99% wilderness. Or the incongruence of this…
