Just a question that came up in some talk between neighbors the other day. We are going up to Glacier National Park tomorrow for the weekend with our oldest daughter and youngest son. This will be our umpteenth time through Glacier and we never get tired of it's beauty. But this came up in our conversation....we live 2 hours from Glacier and 2 hours from Yellowstone and Grand Teton and it's amazing how many people have never been to them when they're right in our backyard so to speak.

I guess that's how it goes sometimes....right around the corner and you never go there. We have been through 18 National Parks....most of them here in the west. Only Isle Royal NP east of the Mississippi. How many have you guys/gals been through? Which was your favorite? Glacier, by far, is our favorite.

I've actually been through a few.. Wait, you said National Parks.. Hmmm.. Not sure.

Been through Yellowstone, for sure.

Hmmm...

I don't know it's a National Park, but been through Itasca (Where the Mississippi starts.. You can literally walk over it without as much as getting your shoes damp).

Gooseberry (that's a State Park) and a bunch up in Northern MN.

I guess I haven't been through as many as I'd like. Will have to make some campin'/travelin' trips soon, eh?

I will, but I have to have some help getting them on this site. Can anyone help? I've got lots of pics from out here, but every time I try to post them, it doesn't work.

Too many.

As a child my Mom took us on three different cross-country trips.

Two were the West Coast where we spent Two Months in an RV (That's right, Mom, Stepdad, and my two siblings in ONE RV) going up and down the coast visiting various National Parks. It was basically a sight-seeing trip, we did nothing but visit tourist spots.

The other one was the South East where we went in the RV again to Tennessee and a couple surrounding states.

I'm also not mentioning the trips I've takek to Texas on a yearly basis, the New York trip, Florida trip and Canada trip.

Now that I think about it I've traveled A LOT in my life, at least around the US. The only time I've really ever traveled on a plane were regular trips to California, Florida and when we went to the UK and Scotland. I hate planes and prefer road trips (say what you want I'd rather be the one in control).

As far as National Parks...I have no idea I've been to so many. Of course naturally my Mom skipped over most of the famous one's like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon. Although I remember the badlands, the giant crater in New Mexico, some big park in Utah, Mount St. Helens, Bryce Canyon, the Smokey Mountains off the top of my head.
