The National Park Service turned 100 on August 25, 2016, so to celebrate it’s 100th anniversary, OB-1 will be visiting 8 National Parks in 14 days in a 4,700 mile loop.  This trip will include 4 days with “Southside Glen”, the inspiration for both OB-1 and the trip itself. (And the reason these adventure updates contain so many maps!)
