An article in our local paper yesterday says that our national parks are getting short-funded by Congress and have a backlog of infrastructure needs (like working bathrooms and safe bridges) in excess of $11 billion. Don't expect the next President or Congress to do anything about that, either.

The Grand Canyon is offering FREE entry this weekend to celebrate it's birthday. I may just have to take a drive.

Nice montage! We love our NP's! We would take our kids every year when we could to visit one of the great national parks. They are all unbelievable and the staff are always THE most dedicated folks you will ever meet! Kudos to all of them. It is sad that they are underfunded - and yet only charge $20 a carload to enter - compared to almost any other costs these days, that is nothing.

I will be this week! I just have to drive down to the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine to get my pass. One good thing about turning a "certain" age.😉

Wish I was closer to that one. I have to go back there soon!
