Now…I’m getting off the computer and heading to the park with my dog…

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for CA’s state parks! They all deserve special attention.

Great post as usual! Having just returned from Yosemite, this really rings true with me.

Thanks for posting about our wildlife since we won’t realize what we have until it is gone.

I’m worried about California right now with so many of the parks closing. I’m lucky because Oklahoma still has a lot of open spaces.

It is so easy to forget about the wilderness as we run about in our busy lives. Yet it is so important. You’ve got me dreaming of hiking in the woods somewhere…

It is important to think beyond our cars and kitchens and remember what the original conservation entailed. This is especially meaningful to me, as a Californian, because California is getting ready to close 100 of its 279 state parks.
