Ken Burns did it again. The National Parks documentary was really good. I can’t tell you how many times I said to myself “I want to go there” when they talked about a national park that I hadn’t been to yet.

Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon are the obvious ones. But others like Mesa Verda in Colorado and Denalie in Alaska will be places I plan to visit someday with our travel trailer.

There was one forest ranger in the documentary that really impressed me. His name is Sheldon Johnson and he really draws you in when he speaks. See this short clip about the Buffalo Soldiers of Yosemite. He tells you all about this untold story of the history of Yosemite.

If you didn’t get to see the series it is available online at the PBS web site at The National Parks – America’s Best Idea Each episode is available for viewing until Oct. 9th.

If you love our national parks like I do, you will want to make sure that you see Ken Burns new documentary on our national parks starting this Sunday evening at 8pm.

We will get the history and learn about the heroes that help create our beloved parks. Don’t miss this. Tivo it and watch it later if you must. Just make sure you see the series.

I can’t wait.
