Nice delete you did there. Lying by omission now? If you arent quoted you can just pretend you never typed it?
I did and still do want to see the rest of the pics from your trip and I do agree the National Park System is good gov spending, I said so in the thread you deleted. I admitted I was wrong about who started the NPA in a subsequent thread.
I was asked a question about firearms and I answered it and I stand by my statement about firearms training.
Do your self a favor and just delete this thread or post where I said everyone should on a firearm. I can take it if I typed it.
Find it yourself, I didnt delete the thread. I still think that even you should have firearm safety training.
I admitted I was wrong on that didnt I? I still would like to see the rest of the pics from that trip.Deja vous all over again. Like the time you insisted I said Truman was responsible for the national parks.
ETA: Here is the thread ES is talking about, Link.
Probably a bad title for the thread but the idea is still sound.

Maybe Im wrong but I thought that the National Park System started over a hundred years ago with Theodore Roosevelt who was quite an outdoorsman and conversavationist , especially for those times.
In fact the Teddy Bear was named after a Bear Cub that he spared during a hunting trip.
I wish we could get along together as well as Our Cats and dogs do.![]()

Well, not quite.
Teddy came along a little bit AFTER the National Parks were first created.
See this write-up from the National Park Service web site >>>
http://www.nps.gov/history/history/h...iefhistory.htm
"The national park concept is generally credited to the artist George Catlin.
On a trip to the Dakotas in 1832, he worried about the impact of America's westward expansion
on Indian civilization, wildlife, and wilderness. They might be preserved, he wrote,
'By some great protecting policy of government... in a magnificent park....
A nation's park, containing man and beast, in all the wild and freshness of their nature's beauty.'
Catlin's vision was partly realized in 1864, when Congress donated Yosemite Valley to California
for preservation as a state park. Eight years later, in 1872, Congress reserved the spectacular
Yellowstone country in the Wyoming and Montana territories
'as a public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people.'
With no state government there yet to receive and manage it, Yellowstone remained
in the custody of the U.S. Department of the Interior as a national park ÷
the world's first area so designated."
So ... George did it!

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.
Many Ohioans don't know about the Beautiful National Park we have right
here in North/Central Ohio - The Cuyahoga Valley National Park >>>

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 remember it. It was where I got brave enough to first ride the up-and-down horsesThen 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.
