Some of the most breathtaking sites are right here in the US. If you’ve ever been to the national parks, you understand what I am talking about. If you haven’t been there, you are missing out. And if you don’t go soon, our politicians may begin to sell off parcels of our national treasure, our public lands to big oil, coal and big lumber corporations. We must stop them in their tracks before it is too late.
On our pre-wedding trip we took an Amtrak train from NYC to California. Stopping off at Rocky Mtn National Park for a few days and then in Reno to see friends.

Another cross country trip to hit some of the national parks and monuments we missed the first trip. This one was 6 weeks on the road.

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the Redwood Forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
And saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me…
Flights of fancy...
