What national park do you dream of visiting?

Glacier National Park in Montana!

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

It would have to be a tie between backpacking the Resurrection Pass Trail in Alaska, or backpacking Isle Royale in Lake Superior.

What would you do with $10,000?

First, I’d pay some of my son’s school tuition. Some of my backpacking gear is getting old and I could get new and I could fully outfit my son in backpacking gear too. It would also give me the opportunity to take my son on a road trip from my home in southwest Ohio to see Glacier National Park in Montana and see Badlands National Park along the way!
