Greetings from Crater Lake National Park

Greetings from Grand Teton National Park
It's September 1986. I'm walking toward the Ranger Station in Grand Teton National Park beside a small elderly man. Osteoporosis has bent him into shrimp-shape. He takes determined steps, one hand on a cane, one arm through mine. But through his body may be frail, his mind is robust. His…

Greetings from Cape Hatteras National Seashore

Greetings from Grand Canyon National Park
When my half-brother's in-laws began having lots of old-age problems, he said he wasn't fooling with all that getting-old crap; he was just going to jump into the Grand Canyon. When some friends and I hiked Tonto Trail in 1988, we spent a night at Indian Gardens. We took a…

This was taken during sunset on Cadillac Mountain at Acadia National Park in May, 2016. I was visiting Rockport, ME and on my agenda was going to Acadia National Park (two hours away) for a day. After stopping at the Visitor Center, I knew my first stop was going to…
