Today is the anniversary of the founding of the National Park Service, called Founders Day. Filmmaker Ken Burns produced a series titled Americas Best Idea, about the National Park Service. Having traveled to many National Parks here in the US I agree with Ken. We are so fortunate to have people and a process – and a whole agency whose mission is to preserve these special places.
Here is a a photo of the Notch Trail in Badlands National Park, South Dakota with my favorite travel partner (my wife).
Happy Birthday to the National Park Service!
