Mini Road Trip

I'm toying with the idea of taking a mini road trip that would incorporate the Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site, the Petersburg Battlefield, and the Booker T. Washington National Historical Site. I might just do the last one though. The other two are close enough to do easily in a normal weekend, and so they are less of a priority.

Welcome

I want to visit every national park, and this blog is meant to document my attempt. The project will probably outlast the blog, since there are 388 national parks, and I only have a limited amount of time and money to get to them. Step one is the list. Here are the national parks I have been to:
Acadia National Park
Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site
Antietam National Battlefield
Assateague Island National Seashore
Catoctin Mountain Park
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historic Park
Clara Barton National Historic Site
Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine
Greenbelt Park
Fort Necessity National Battlefield
Gettysburg National Military Park
Johnstown Flood National Memorial
Appomattox Courthouse National Historic Park
Arlington House
Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historic Park
Colonial National Historic Park
Fredricksburg and Spottsylvania County Battlefields Memorial National Military Park
Mannassas National Battlefield Park
Shenandoah National Park
New River Gorge National River
Blue Ridge Parkway
Natchez Trace National Historic Trail
Natchez Trace Parkway
Appalachian National Scenic Trail
Richmond National Battlefield Park
Stones River National Battlefield
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Landmark
Petrified Forest National Park
Pecos National Historic Park
Petroglyph National Monument
Lake Meredith National Recreation Area
Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument
Walnut Canyon National Monument
Harpers Ferry National Historic Park

My goal is to write a little summary of each trip to a park, and also to write updates on travel planning. I'll start the back log soon.
