The National Parks I've been to in one year!

Well, I'm just staying put in Hawaii for now. Until then enjoy the parks that I've been to from March 2022 to March 2023. I didn't take some of the signages nor did I upload some. Laters. April- Hawaii Volcanoes National Park  May- Yellowstone National Park and Grand Canyon National Park July 2022 August 2022 (I just drove by Yellowstone to get a pic, I didn't enter this time) November/December 2022 Feb 2023

Best of 2022!

  Well, the good old Lord kept me and the fam safe for another year. Got to see more of the mainland without those ridiculous requirements for travel. Anyhow. Take care folks and take God with you in 2023!

America the beautiful Pass - Annual National Park pass. Is it worth it?

 I bought my pass back in April 2022. The pass is $80 and is good for one year. If you visit each National Park, it is $35 average individually. So is it worth it? Let's find out! April 2022 - Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Grand Canyon. May 2022 - Yellowstone National Park Grand Prismatic Spring July 2022 - Pu'uhonua O Honaunau Historical National Park August 2022 - Grand Teton Oxbow Bend September 2022 - Glacier National Park Bearhat Mountain @ Logan Pass November 2022 - White Sands National Park December 2022 - Guadalupe Mountains National Park and Carlsbad Caverns National Park Devil's Hall So that is 9 national parks visited in that last 9 months. I have 3 more months to go and I can pretty much not do anymore simply because the $80 pass all ready covered my trips 3 fold. Anyhow, looking forward into visiting a few more parks hopefully. Laters and take care.

Guadalupe National Park 12/1/22 Salt Flat, Texas. A day in Guadalupe National Park

  Visitor center. It ain't real.  Devil's Hall During this hike, the first half is fairly easy as it is paved. However, halfway through, it is a rocky hike. Wear good shoes or if you hate rocks, skip this one.  I would just like to add when you hit this wall section, be very careful in climbing or stepping over. When you get over that wall, you will come across this small looking pool. It looks very deep actually when you get closer. After that, another 5 mins in or so, you are at the Devil's Hall.  The Plants you will encounter along the way.  Smith Spring loop Trail and Manzanita Springs.  This section is very early on if you take the right section first. Once again, this hike is a rocky one. Not as bad as Devil's Hall but it is fairly rocky.  Nice small spring. The water is really cold. I had the place to myself for at least 15 mins before I moved on.  The Frijole Ranch museum was closed but it's in the very start of the trail.  I didn't g...
