Yosemite – the Mother of all National Parks

This was my 45th National Park to visit. Yosemite has it all: The soaring granite domes, roaring waterfalls (in July), majestic trees, and whitewater streams.

Devil’s Postpile National Monument

This National Park land is out of the way in the High Sierra country of California. You shuttle through the park with 10 stops with countless hikes. The short walk to the Devil’s Postpile is worth the effort.

A Dark Road We Travel Often in the USA

As I traveled across the country this summer, I made a point to seek out this concentration camp built for our American citizens in 1942. The Citizens of Japanese descent were offered a safe place to “relocate” to protect them. They gave up everything and complied. When they got to the camp, they found out that they were prisoners. The guard towers weren’t there to protect them from others; it was built to protect their country from them. Such sadness.
