I hike every weekend with I.N.C.H. , an ever-growing hiking club. But, to tell the truth, I've never been to a 'bad' park, and it's my goal to visit all the National Parks. Since then, whenever on vacation or at a conference, I feel driven to visit every nearby park. I'm seeking professional help. On the flip side, I really get the full value out of a National Park Pass as well as a rental car.
Some people find identity through culture.
This leaves me with an undeniable cultural wanderlust. I finally left the country in 2001 to attend a good friend's wedding in Singapore. One of these days I'll get back to my European roots as well. Gotta have goals, and talking to a quarter of the population can't hurt. It's more of a good idea than an explanation for the unknown.
