Earl - How wonderful that you have been to all 58 National Parks!! That's amazing! Thank you for the encouragement with this post. My dream the day our daughters were born was to have my family visit all the National Park sites. We've been to 155 and so we are a long way from [visiting all 392]. But your post is an encouragement!

34, not bad when you consider I live in the UK. Efficient use of vacation time is the answer.
