Happy Monday! I’ve finally updated my National Parks Bucket List. In the last few weeks, we’ve visited 4 more parks. We’re up to 33 with only 30 more parks to go. The photo above is the New River Bridge in New River National Park in West Virginia.
This is Mammoth Cave National Park. We visited during the government shutdown, so we were unable to take a cave tour, but we were able to go down into the historic entrance to the cave, and we also enjoyed bike riding through the park – so I’m counting it, haha! If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll be sure to take a cave tour.
This is, of course, is Gateway Arch National Park in St. Louis, Missouri. Even though the government was still shut down, they were still allowing people to take the tram to the top of the arch. It was a clear day, so we were able to see quite far.
Lastly, this is Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. We drove the Skyline Drive. Beautiful! It was a bit nippy for hiking (in the 30’s), so if we come this way again, we’ll try to make it in warmer weather!
Our travels next spring will include the next batch of parks. Little by little, we’re crossing them off our bucket list!
Have a terrific day. I hope you do or learn something NEW today!

That’s a beautiful photo of the arch in St. Louis, Lenore. ❤ New River is a place I really want to visit. I’m so glad you got to go.

My hubby always reminds me that I rarely like to visit somewhere more than once (because there’s so many NEW places to visit!). So, we’ll see if we ever get back to those. I guess there’s always NEW aspects of what we’ve already seen, so you never know. I hope you’re doing well, Terry!
