Anyone watching this series on PBS this week?
http://www.pbs.org/nationalparks/

If you're not watching it and have any admiration for anything outdoors, I suggest watching it. It may even be for you if you are not outdoorsy and just love our government. Or it also may be for you if you're not outdoorsy and hate our government.

In my opinion it is very well put together and offers a bit of history about the early makings of the foundations of our country. At least that's what I've taken from it for the past two nights.

I saw a trailer for the History Channel "life after humans" or something like that. Looked really interesting.

I have watched the episodes and plan on seeing them all this week. So far, they have been excellent! A great history lesson and some very profound insight from authors, historians and rangers. The emotion is completing inspiring and I understand every bit of that, as I often have the same feelings about the land!
America the beautiful, for sure!

I think I saw one on Life after Humans. If it was the one I saw, it was very interesting to see what they expect to happen to the land and buildings. Worth watching even if it speculation of how it will be.
