Dead Horse Point State Park, Moab, Utah
“There is delight in the hardy life of the open. There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness, that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy, and its charm. The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation, increased and not impaired in value.” ~President Theodore Roosevelt
Grand Time in the Grand Tetons
National Parks are the best idea we ever had. Absolutely American, absolutely democratic, they reflect us at our best rather than our worst.

Bernalillo, NM and Dan in Durango
We had planned to spend a few more days in Bernalillo so we could see Albuquerque. But, the upcoming Dead Horse Point reservation was difficult to get and impossible to change. The days waiting in Clinton, OK used up two of the three days planned for Bernalillo.

The Great Smoky Mountains
We spent a short rainy day and night in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It’s not too far from Manchester, so maybe we can go back and spend more time. It is the most visited national park because 3/4 of the population of the United States lives within a one-day drive. Also, because it is beautiful. If you go, avoid the Tail of the Dragon.
