When you live in Phoenix, you drop everything to watch the summer monsoon roll through. #monsoon #phoenix

Tyuonyi Ruin, Bandalier National Monument, New Mexico. #FindYourPark

I think Santa Fe Brewing became my favorite #NewMexico #brewery this weekend.

Really wanted to grab a drink here as we passed by, but they looked closed. We pulled into the parking lot and another car pulled closed to the window. A guy dunks out, looks around, then pounds on the window. Sure enough, a lady slides it open and takes an order. We gleefully decide that we must get a drink from this here bar, and proceed to properly park in the empty gravel lot. Walking up to the door, the lady leans out and yells “window only!” Apparently, it was a shitshow in there the previous night and she wasn’t able (willing?) to open up the actual bar.

Did I mention that I’ve now visited 363 national park units? I’m now less than 50 away from completing the national parks quest.

The first atomic weapon was developed in the parking lot in this photo, and loaded for delivery at the site of this memorial.

This canyon in the Jemez Mountains looks very inviting.

Wukoki Ruin in Wupatki National Monument is probably the place most responsible for my early love of the #nationalparks. #findyourpark

Well, my national park pin collection is coming along nicely. Too bad so many of the parks don’t have pins available /:

So…#MyNationalParksMonth is getting an EPIC ENCORE! I’m extending the trip to visit 21 more national parks and “finish the East” on my quest to visit all the 411 units! Head over to alltheparks.com to see the map and more deets

When you’re on an epic trip like #MyNationalParksMonth, things like this begin to seem normal. #Findyourpark #nps100 #roadtrip

A foggy Shenadoah on my mind… #MyNationalParksMonth

We managed to tour Salem Maritime NHS today too, bringing my national parks total to 305. This has been an amazingly productive weekend! #MyNationalParksMonth #findyourpark

Next, we toured the first shots of the American Revolution at Minute Man NHP. #MyNationalParksMonth #findyourpark
