Those of us who live here in the U.S of A are blessed with a plethora of national and state parks to visit. It is not hard to get to scenes of natural beauty anywhere in this country. However, we often can take these places for granted and see them as just another place to spend a weekend with friends and family roasting marshmallows and telling ghost stories. They, in reality, are a treasure passed down to us from men and woman who saw their value and worked to protect them for future generations.
