06/17/2008 - 4:28amWhat's In Your National Park Reading Room?This is great stuff, guys. Thanks so much for sharing. If I may, I'd like to recommend the Yellowstone Association website as a way to obtain these books and more, while also supporting our national treasures at the same time. The recent story concerning the financial plight of the Twain ...
05/27/2008 - 4:43amCreature Feature: The American MartenAll this time, and with a fairly interested view of wildlife, and I've never even heard of this animal before. Color me deprived.
05/27/2008 - 4:39amCape Hatteras National Seashore Beaches Among Country's BestAdd this to my list of "must do before too much longer." I feel so deprived. ;-)
05/27/2008 - 4:37amNational Park Entrance Fees Frozen at 2007 LevelsI suspect it won't matter that rates are kept the same if visitors are down due to these exploding gasoline prices. I do know that less visitors mean less revenue means less ability to maintain that which is there.

05/19/2008 - 3:43amBook Review: Let's Go See:All 50! -- Visiting the 50 States JournalDorothy, Thank you for your kind words about the journal. It is feedback like yours that make it a truly humbling yet fulfilling experience.

Thank you for your time and insights. Interestingly, you have captured the struggle we had in developing the final product as far as deciding precise content. In the end, it was decided to add less ...
05/13/2008 - 10:31amNational Park Search and Rescue: Should the Rescued Help Pay the Bills?Insurance really doesn't have to be "cost effective" if the goal is to offset costs. In this way I don't think it would be that expensive to set up or maintain. Once you log in, as I've seen it's already required within other posts in this thread, you deposit your ...
05/13/2008 - 4:31amNational Park Search and Rescue: Should the Rescued Help Pay the Bills?Some sort of insurance program would seem to alleviate the concerns for all involved. It seems like an easy and all encompasing solution to the problems. What am I missing here?
05/12/2008 - 4:40amBigger Boat Tours Coming to Voyageurs National ParkThis all reminds me of one of the basic, paradoxical, axioms of economics, i.e. the world is full of limited resources.
05/08/2008 - 9:00amBigger Boat Tours Coming to Voyageurs National ParkI could see why private tour boats would do well in some areas, such as Fort William Henry on Lake George, NY, and not in others such as Voyageurs.

05/08/2008 - 2:56amWhere Are the Best Sunrises in the National Park System?I didn't realize that Haleakala was a National Park when I had a chance to visit in 1989. It was cloudy for me too, but the bike coasting down the mountain afterward made it all worthwhile. We stopped frequently to remove a layer of clothing. I couldn't believe that anywhere ...
