When I was in college, while others were considering study abroad programs, I dreamed of traveling around the United States. That dream continued to bubble to the surface for 30 years.  During Covid-19 I ordered a new atlas and spent quarantine developing my game plan…envisioning which routes would lead me to enjoying each treasured park.

In January 2021 I hit the road. The only plan in place was to avoid bad weather. And with that, I was off.  During the trip I…

        • Drove 46,070 miles
        • Hiked 320 miles
        • Visited 39 states
        • Explored 46 National Parks, Monuments, Historic Sites, etc
        • Spent time in state and regional parks in most states

As the year came to an end, I realized I wasn’t finished. I had more to see, more to explore, and stories to tell.
