If you speed up your trip, you'll miss a lot of interesting sights and also wear yourself to a frazzle.
From Michael Frome
Don't plan to drive more than 300 miles a day.
If you're going away, be sure to cancel the paper, the milk, and the laundry pickup. Remove the fresh stuff from the ice box, lock the windows and doors, and phone the cops and tell them how long you'll be gone so they'll keep an eye out for burglars.
National parks are cathedrals of spirituality and emotion, and unfortunately, they are being loved to death by many of the same people who enjoy them the most.
The parks are our national treasures, and they must be shown more respect, not only by visitors but also the people who run them.
It isn't safe to go to the parks. Toxic chemicals ruin the air and water. There is vandalism, even crime, and conscientious park personnel are demoralized.
Civilization in our time is driven by materialism and troubled by pollution, over-population, corruption, and violence. National parks can hardly be uncoupled from the society around them, but that only makes it more important to protect them and keep them whole and pure.
We get the politicians we deserve and the environment we deserve.
When people performing on the public's behalf feel intimidated, it's a sorry affair.
I think all of this jogging and everything else shows the people want to be masters of their own bodies and environment.
