September Park Photos
We’re back from our September cross country vacation. This article is delayed a bit since we took a second trip out west in October. Now that I’ve had some time to organize, I’ll share a few pictures from September – concentrating on wildlife and some scenics.
Here’s a few national park stickers from our sister company StickItToYourCar.com that decorate our car’s bumper.
We hope you liked seeing some of the pictures from our September vacation.

Heading to the Parks

Packing for Photos
This year we’re taking a September cross country vacation to the west side. Our plan is to hit several of the national parks in between visits to family along the way.
As a lifelong picture taker I’m bringing a bunch of equipment to capture the landscapes and wildlife (hopefully) that we encounter over the next two weeks.
All my bags are packed and I’m ready to go…. All of the equipment goes into the car for the 5000 miles journey.
I’ve borrowed a couple of national park stickers from our sister company StickItToYourCar.com to put on our car’s bumper. We’ll be visiting these and maybe a few other parks as well.
Here’s hoping that we can bring home a bunch of “keeper” photos from our fall vacation.

An Important Possession

I Carry This Card In My Wallet
My two life long hobbys are photography and travel. Putting these two together has taken me to more than a few of our National Parks.
This is the card that lets me enter so many grand destinations. The National Parks System manages 63 areas designated as “Parks” and some 350 more areas that include monuments, conservation areas, lakeshores, historical sites, preserves and the like.
A yearly pass will let you into these area for $80. If you’re a senior citizen you can purchase a lifetime pass for $80. It’s a bargain price that lets you see some of America’s greatest places.
When I purchased my lifetime senior pass years ago the cost was just $10 so I’ve really gotten my money’s worth from all of my park visits.
There are NP System managed areas in every state waiting for you to visit and enjoy. They provide some of the best recreational and educational opportunities that our country has to offer.
