Happy New Year! First, let’s check off my New Year’s resolutions for last year. 

• Complete visits to American Concentration Camps ✓
• Visit World Heritage Sites in Mexico and Canada ✓
• Complete the North Atlantic* & Midwest regions ✓

* President Biden named a new National Monument in Maine in December, so I will go back in 2025.

For 2025, here are my New Year’s resolutions.

• Complete visits to all parks in the lower 48 states
  • Including affiliates, heritage areas and trails
  • Plus world heritage sites and biospheres
  • And fill in the lower 48 map with photo summaries
• Pick the best in each of the six regions completed
• Visit Canada and Mexico again to see more world heritage sites and biospheres

So I plan to cross the country again this year in my electric car, seeing National Parks from California to Florida, World Heritage Sites from Canada to Mexico, and various lesser known but still important small sites. Logistical challenges or new park designations (thanks Joe) may thwart my plans, but I resolve to do my best.

The posting schedule should continue unchanged all year. Mondays are site visits. Thursdays are typically viewpoints and summaries. And every other Saturday I plan to post a state photo summary. Thanks for following along!
