| Don't forget to mention the guy who really started it all--President Ulysses S. Grant, who signed into law protections for Yellowstone, March 1, 1872. That was the "beginning" of the National Park Service, although it took until 1916 to get their current name. |

As much as I'm thrilled with the conservation of the parks, http://motherboard.vice.com/read/yosemite-national-park-used-to-be-30-percent-bigger - this sobering article uncovers how much we need to be diligent in protecting what we originally were preserving. ------------- 2016 HRE R-179 "CapPODccino" 2011 F-150 SLX |

My first National Park System experience was chasing the girls up and down the steps of the Washington Monument sometime mid-1960's. Took me 30 more years to finally catch one! fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

Thanks bjk. Yes as much as we all appreciate and use both national, state and county park systems we should not take them for granted and do everything we can to preserve and protect them. That said, I got me one of those Senior Passes this year!!! What an incredible perk for owning a Pod!!
