As I discovered National Park Service sites posting on Twitter I would include them in #followfriday and other posts. Once in a while people ask if there is a comprehensive list. I thought for sure a something official would emerge given the recent marketing efforts of Ken Burn's PBS documentary, but to date nothing official or otherwise has appeared on my radar. So let's get started! Here's a map with all parks I know of so far using Twitter.

I'm on vacation for 12 days, and it's off to Washington state! My mother lives in the small seaside town of Port Townsend, and it's actually been a few years since I've come up to visit. It's not all family business, though. Port Townsend lies next door to the Olympic Mountains, and although the mountains themselves are snow-packed and inaccessible the surrounding forest and communities hold a lot of possibilities for fun and discovery.

If you know the area and have a recommendation for places to visit leave me a comment or @roadup me on Twitter.
