Why I Have Deleted Posts and Threads

Maybe Im wrong but I thought that the National Park System started over a hundred years ago with Theodore Roosevelt...

Well, not quite.
Teddy came along a little bit AFTER the National Parks were first created....

There really was no need to bump this thread or to bring up the NPS topic.

I wish we could get along together as well as Our Cats and dogs do.

Dogs and cats may not always get along but they can learn to respect each other.

I have a Senior Lifetime Pass. Cost me $10, and I can visit any of the National Parks. Wish I could say we'd seen more of them. Pictured Rocks in the Upper Peninsula is gorgeous, and Petersburg National Battlefield and Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia are both small but very interesting. There are two in my home state of Rhode Island - Tuoro Synagogue in Newport, and Roger Williams in Providence.

When did Roger Williams become a National Park??

That was the place Dad had to take us for the Sunday afternoon drive just to get out of the house, where we went to the fireworks on July 4th, and where Dad absolutely had to take us as little kids to take pics of us when the flowers were in bloom. Remember the big flower bed that was planted to look like the American Flag? That takes me WAY back!

It's not the Roger Williams Park you're thinking of. Not the one with the carousel and the zoo. This is Roger Williams National Memorial on North Main St in Providence. Here it is.

I never knew there was more than one. What I remember is all the beautiful gardens, a pond with ducks and swans - don't really remember a carousel tho.

I remember it. It was where I got brave enough to first ride the up-and-down horses Then later I even took a chance on catching the gold ring. There is a carousel there now, but I don't think it is the original one. When I was out for my high school reunion, we visited the Park, rode the carousel and checked out the zoo.

Thanks for the information, Gretchen. I didn't know about the Senior Pass. I want one! I just went to the NPS web site to find out how to get it. It says "The pass can only be obtained in person at the park."

Is there one anywhere remotely near here? Which is the nearest one?

Thanks!

Here you go!

Click on a state and you'll see where the parks are. The closest in Michigan is Sleeping Bear Dunes up near Traverse City. There's one in northwest Ohio - Perry's Victory
and International Peace Memorial - that's not really far from us.

Thanks, Gretchen. I may have to go visit the Perry's Victory park one of these days and get my Senior Pass too!

Oops , I was wrong!!
Mr him as setting many areas Roosevelt did not start the National Park, but my guide to Your Presidents credits him as setting aside several parcels of land for that purpose.
I occasionally take out RV magazines at the Library, and that is one place I would go to some gorgeous National Parks in Canada.

If only I had money and could drive.

The OP brought up her deleted NPS thread in Post #56, a thread she admitted was political in nature and was why it was posted in the DH.

I have said a number of times now, and Ill repeat myself, I would love to see the rest of the pics from her trip to the NP.
