rscottjones: Last weekend’s adventure.
rscottjones: I was reminded today of my visit to Shenandoah National Park in May 2016. It was intended to be a birthday trip for @jennifermarie1915, though we arrived to find a very foggy park. Undeterred, we embraced the circumstances and decided to adopt a scenic ov
rscottjones: Wish I could be transported back to summer to float down the Buffalo National River. It looked so inviting during our last visit, but we only had a couple of hours available—too short for a paddle.
rscottjones: We’re picking some new photos for our living room wall this week, and this aerial shot from Gates of the Arctic National Park has made the cut. We had had no idea how amazing flightseeing in remote Alaska would be until this day—my first significant expos
rscottjones: Still missing being up on Montana, where I finished my Treasured Places quest, comprised of the 478 specially-protected public lands in the country. Check out treasuredplaces.us for more on how you adopt the quest too.

rscottjones: It was great to finally get back up to Blue Ridge to paddle last weekend. #kayakarizona #optoutside
rscottjones: If you want to catch a fish, you've got to get in the water.
rscottjones: One of the excellent surprises of our Alaska trip was exceptionally gorgeous Misty Fjords National Monument. It’s a great reminder that the National Park Service doesn’t have a monopoly on amazing landscapes. Keep that in mind as you plan your future trav
rscottjones: I just realized that I never posted here that I finished my lifelong quest to visit all 419 National Park units! Glacier Bay National Park was my final park unit; what a great place to finish. Deep thanks to everyone who has supported me throughout the jo
