Tunnel in the Woods
I have fallen in love with our National Parks here in the states after viewing Ken Burns series. I had no idea after just spending time in the Great Smokey National Park how special these parks are and the work that went into creating them.
Thank you to all the people that went before and now who had the foresight to protect for us from ourselves to protect these wonders of such spiritual magnitude for us to enjoy.
