Great episodes, great basic information on the creating of the parks, great photography. I am amazed at so many times in our countries past we have had so farseeing and intelligent people in the right places at the right time to initiate and move agendas against the grain of the powers that be of their times. Spent the weekend camping in the ND badlands near the site of Roosevelts Elkhorn Ranch on the Little Missouri, can't get any better.
