Matt and Karen weren’t always associated with National Parks. It wasn’t until they experienced a series of sudden and tragic events in their lives that they decided that it was now or never to go on the adventure of a lifetime. So they set out to visit all 59 National Parks in two years, something that very few have ever done. Since then, they have been to the additional three that have been added to the National Park system. Their lives have been forever impacted by the beauty of our nation’s public lands and they have become stewards for the protection and preservation of these magnificent spaces, authoring the “Dear Bob and Sue” book series on their adventures through the National Parks system. If you love National Parks and a few good laughs, then you’ll absolutely love this episode!
