Have been busy planning a road trip for Sep 09. Leaving here, Mountain View, CA next week after labor Day weekend. In an earlier blog, it was mentioned that there are about 54 National Parks in the USA. This year (Apr 09) visited Death Valley National Park. This blogs cover my visit there, blog 1, blog 2, and blog 3. On this trip will visit 4 more National Parks: Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Bryce, Zion and likely Joshua Tree. On this trip will not cover this parks as extensibly as I did Death Valley; but later trips ... !

Here is an interesting link about all types of areas in the USA National Park System, Click Here.

So, in the next few years will visit a few more National Parks. Planning on leaving the Bay area for this trip next Tues, 8th Sep 09. Be back to the Bay Area around Nov 6th, 09. Likely, will hangout in the Mission Bay area by San Diego CA, the whole month of Oct.
