I've just returned from a whirlwind road trip along America's longest highway - Historic Route 20. I was invited to do this trip by my friend Bryan, over at the Historic Route 20 Association (@HistoricUSRoute20 ) because of the shear number of National Park sites on or near the highway. I was struck, not only by the number of parks, but also the stories they all told. The lands these parks protect encompass all eras of American history, the good and the bad, and visiting them all within a few days like that really opened my eyes to the power of preserving not just parks, but corridors and entire areas. I've compiled my thoughts and reflections on the road trip, and these parks, in this video for you. Enjoy!
