100 years of parks

The National Park Service celebrated its centennial this past Thursday.I cannot imagine this country without its parks, monuments, and forests.They are indisputably American.As we head into a Presidential election, it's easy to become cynical. I resist that impulse as much as I can.Knowing previous generations were smart enough to leave us these parks, I feel heartened for the future of our country.We got something right.Here's to 100 years more!
