Biography

I read all the VC members. Wow!!!! I don't have a long list of anything like you all do. I just like to road trip. And most of my road trips take me to a National Park. I love State Parks as well. A few years ago my brother and I, while coming back from Portland, Oregon to our home in Ohio. Of course we took a road trip. Scenic Trip, Route 2 all across the US. While in the UP, we visitied Painted Rock, which is where I bought my first passport. Needless to say, I've pretty much filled that one up, because I just recently purchased the "new and improved" passport. All I have to say is WOW!!!!! I've photographed all of my trips, which means I have hundreds of photos from all over. My ultimate goal. Driving the Alkan Highway to Alaska and visiting Denali NP. I'm glad I stumbled across this site. I love it, so just....keep up the good work. I'll be seeing ya!!!!!
