Good Morning,
Well we made it back to Louisiana Sunday afternoon and I must say, this has been the trip of a lifetime for me. We drove through 14 states and visited 15 National Parks.
If you've followed my west coast vacation, you'll see some of the places we visited. I'm not done though, we still have North Dakota and Minnesota.
Thursday I'll complete the blog posts on our west coast vacation with the last 3 National Parks we visited: Theodore Roosevelt in ND and Voyageurs & Isle Royale in MN.
However this morning I just wanted to say how much I've treasured this trip, our country and our nation's National Parks.
Until next time, take care and God Bless.

#SaturdaySpotlight is on North Cascades & Glacier National Parks!
Good Morning from Story City, Iowa!
Well we're on our way home. We left MN yesterday, passing through Duluth and St. Paul on our way out of the state. Today we'll travel as far a Fayetteville, AR then tomorrow, we'll go the final distance home. My scheduled guest couldn't make it today, so I'll be sharing a few pics from North Cascades and Glacier National Park.
Although not as vast or majestic as Mt. Rainier, North Cascades has it's own surprises. Snow covered peaks and Diablo Lake
On the 15th we left Washington behind and traveled to Montana, spending the night in Idaho. We visited Glacier National Park on the 16th and let me tell you, this place was packed! If you ever go, check out the Red Bus Tours and schedule one. These buses stop at all the great viewpoints and give you plenty time to take pictures. We didn't know this so we missed out on a lot. However, we did see a few Mountain Goats, Big Horn Sheep at Logan's Pass.
We hiked in the snow to see Hidden Lake and drove to the Southeast side and saw Running Eagle Falls
Visiting National Parks is a wonderful experience but sometimes you run into a beautiful sight on the road.... We saw this Blackfoot Native American park and stopped to take a couple of pics...
That's all I have time for today. Next time we'll travel to North Dakota and Minnesota, but until then, if you want to catch up on the entire trip you can start at the beginning (TX), and follow us to NM, AZ and California (CA #2) and from there to Redwoods and Crater Lake and check out Thursday's post on Mt. Rainier and Olympic!
Until next time, take care and God Bless!
