Road to Abolition

The American movement to abolish slavery began before the Constitution…

I hate contributing to the climate crisis, so I’m seeing as many parks as I can in zero emission vehicles, a long range Tesla 3, a folding e-bike and a folding kayak.  (What about charging and costs?) Our world still has some magically beautiful places, but we’re killing life with carbon pollution.  We need to switch to electric vehicles, so we can enjoy life without ruining nature.

Dig deeper to learn about unofficial sites to visit.

My current goal is to visit all the parks in the lower 48 states by electric vehicle. While I’m fortunate enough to fund my own travels and keep this site ad-free, click here if you want to donate or buy me a coffee.  Please follow along to join my journey, and try to reduce your carbon footprint while enjoying your own travels.  Thanks!

  1. Ned,

    I just read your 5/6 post at Daily Kos. Thanks for your comments and perspective. They mirror my views, as well.

  5. Great site and concept. If you get around to EVing to Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, on the southern coast of Lake Superior, try going in deep winter. Yes, spring and fall are lovely, but winter can be spectacular, at least if climate change doesn’t prevent the big lake from freezing over solid along its shores. Fully frozen, you will be able to tour the island ice caves, which are spectacular cathedrals of ice stalactites. In summer there is no ice but if the water levels on lake are reasonable you can tour the caves by canoe or kayak. But in the winter, you can drive from the mainland to near the cave mouths along an a temporary, marked, official highway over the frozen lake surface. Ice-truckers! Breathtaking, spiritually and, if the winds are stiff and you take deep gulps of air, literally. All regards, Ron Legro
