Month: August 2016

Happy 100th Birthday NPS!!!

August 25, 2016parksandlex@gmail.com

In spite of being behind on this whole 12 Parks/12 Months goal (did actually take the baby on his first trip to Yosemite, but yet to write it up), I can’t let this occasion go uncelebrated! So here are 12 photos to highlight the variety of our National Park system 🙂 And hey, I still have time to make it to 12 parks in 2016…

Manzanar - amazing how a place can be so beautiful and so ugly at the same time. How it can exemplify the courage of some of America's citizens (or would-be citizens) and the fearful ignorance of others.
