Ken Burn's " The National Parks"

Have you watched any of the PBS series "The National Parks -America's Best Idea" by Ken Burns? It started on Sunday and was on again last night. I have been watching & it has brought back some great memories. In the summer of 1972 I travelled across the country ( and into Canada & MX) with a friend--this was our setup......A '63 Falcon, an orange 2 person pup tent and a coleman stove! We travelled from June-Sept, staying in a hotel only 2 nights ( but we did look up family & friends when we could!) This is me at our campsite in Niagara Falls--1st day on the road! During the trip we purchased Golden Eagle Passes --good for entry to all parks for 1 year. I think we ended up going to at least 10 parks that summer. But a few photos from a few places--the car going through a giant sequoia in Yosemite.

Our day at Yellowstone was awesome! Here's some thermal hot springs

And colorful hot springs. This trip was the 1st time I'd been off the east coast & we travelled about 4000 miles through 23 states.

And what's a trip to yellowstone without a visit to Old Faithful! We lucked out & didn't have to wait long for it to erupt!
