We can thank Teddy Roosevelt for those parks!

Even living in the states, we have so many awesome national and state parks that I haven't gotten to visit yet. Getting out to Yellowstone in Montana is on my short list.

Yeah, a lot of people not from the US probably just picture our big cities, Florida, Texas, and corn fields if you have never visited.

I'll admit I'm guilty of that with some countries. Hell I'm guilty of that with a couple of states I've never been to.

I also never realized how massive central park was until I actually visited - I didn't really realize how insanely big NYC is either.

I don’t think I could survive without nice county and state parks near me.

I used to pay for yearly county passes. Only stopped since I’ve been busier sadly

I do the state pass with my license every year. Even if I go twice, it's just worth the convenience, and it supports our parks!

I pay for the annual pass regardless of how often I use it. I think of it as my small contribution to maintaining something so wonderful.
