Hi Samat, Sorry, you must have misread my intent. I totally agree that hiking the park is not only 'better' buy more fun, especially for a PotW. I have just put so many topics in to one email. I do think some things are 'necessary' to import. Like Park boundaries, though there is always discussion on the accuracy and how 'good' those are too. Hrm :-/
I would love for National Parks week to be a "hands on, hike with your GPS, take your kid/boyscout/girlscout out and explore event'. Who can help coordinate?
