Today is the birthday of the National Park Service, which manages over 430 national parks in the US. Visiting them all has been the best endeavor of my life.
Back in 2016, I celebrated the NPS 100th birthday by visiting 100 parks in 100 days, which has been my all-time favorite trip (so far 😉).
Finally got around to (belatedly) posting an August 2024 Mid-Month Review.
It's not hard to find a Lincoln statue near Springfield, Illinois. Here are four that I ran across #opcOnThisDay in 2012.
August’s #OnePostcard: thanks to Krista, Kathy, Pat, and JP for the postcards.
One minute of zen, from Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, captured On This Day in 2012.
Another monsoon storm blocked my weekly evening paddle down the river. Damn, I need to get back out there. Here’s an early morning view of the river—kayaker included—from OTD in 2020.
A few photos from a flight over Greenland, On This Day in 2021.
I was super lucky on the flight in the opposite direction, where I got to enjoy an hours-long display of the northern lights from the air. Quite magical!
On This Day in 2019, I visited what has got to be the most obscure National Monument in the country. It’s one of the few that requires a short background check to visit.

Free shower! (Iceland, OTD in 2021)
On This Day last year, I attempted—and failed miserably—to correctly pronounce even half of the official name of this town in Wales.
I finally wrote about my visit to Cabinetlandia, which was five years ago yesterday. And in doing so, I fell down a rabbit hole of research about this fun project—stuff I really wish I had known when I first visited out of a whim. This has Web 1.0 feels all over it.
