I did it! My daughters and grandkids made up a scavenger hunt for me to take along on my September road trip. Of course, I completed the trip AND published a blog post on The Driveby Tourist.

When someone mentions the National Park Service, most people think of Yellowstone, Yosemite, or the Grand Canyon. Wonderful places, all of them. But you're missing a lot if those are the only places on your list. The National Park Service currently manages 433 units, including 63 officially designated National Parks. That number could soon reach 64, with Arizona's Chiricahua National Monument awaiting final approval. That leaves 370 other places worth exploring! There are 87 National...
