    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.


    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.

    I have said a number of times now, and Ill repeat myself,

    I would love to see the rest of the pics from her (Sara's) trip to the NP.

    Thanks for pulling this out of the DH, Phred.

    Don't forget, though, besides National parks, there are great spots normally right in your own backyard!

    (And those spots are one of the reasons our backyard is where it is!)

    Right On!

    Do a 'Google.com' using your "STATE + PARKS" and you'll dig up a
    wealth of information on your local parks.

    And try your "City's Name + Parks"; and your "County's Name + Parks".

    While I was in school in upstate New York I used to go to the Saratoga Battlefield. (Not sure if it's a national park per se.) It's hard to believe that such an unspoiled looking place was the site of battles during the American Revolution!

    We visited Zion Canyon National Park, which Wolfsoul has taken gorgeous pictures of, quite by accident, on the way to the Grand Canyon. It was a stunning surprise!

    We have many state parks near us, some teensy on the Boston waterfront, and bigger ones. I have never been to the Cape Cod National Seashore, but Paul has.
