  • Greetings from Mammoth Cave National Park

    I have been a 'parkie' now for two decades. Much of that I worked in parks around this amazing country, and all this time I have searched for and through every park site I could visit. I have visited over 350 units so far. Different family members have visited me…

My book: Ski Trails and Wildlife explains…

  • Greetings from Glacier National Park

    Being able to spend time in such magnificent such as Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks has been a great gift for me. I am incredibly frustrated and saddened by our government today. Treating its citizens and guests as expendable in their parlor games. I wish I could go to the…

  • Greetings from Glacier National Park

    Glacier National Park is a place that means everything to me. The mountains and beautiful landscape stole my heart 5 years ago and there, it still remains.

  • Greetings from Grand Canyon National Park

    After a very rough patch in my life I decided I needed a change of pace. I wasn't i peace with myself at all anymore. That's when I went across the United States in a Greyhound bus. And when I came across the Grand Canyon - the same National Park…
