National Parks...

We may be the most fortunate country in the world. We have national parks, state parks, county parks, city parks, national and state forests, and public beaches, all being maintained and protected for us and for the generations to come. In the 60's, I remember visiting the Glory Hole in Colorado. It is a mining hole so large that the massive trucks working in the bottom of the pit looked like our children's miniature toys. The area around the hole is piled with debris from the mining, but surrounding the mining area are magnificent views of the Rocky Mountains. Check out the Henderson Mine Glory Hole Take a close look at the mine and the surrounding vista. An exploited Earth is not what we want to leave for our children and our children's children. We have a beautiful home and it has taken hard work to create our natural spaces for everyone. It will take equally hard work to protect them from those that would exploit our legacy for their own benefit. We have to decide today what we want our world to look like. Tomorrow will be too late.
