Future Park Ranger?

I am drinking in the PBS Series "America's Best Idea" like a fine, fine wine! OK, truth be told, it has been on three nights, and I've caught no more than 30 minutes each night, but oh so inspiring! A lot of Tivo to catch up on. I also watched Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan on BookTV Saturday discussing the series and the companion book. The episodes run this week and again in January for, as they clearly state, folks to watch when they are deciding where to go on their next vacation. No kidding! One look at Arcadia in Maine and I'd want to hop on a plane next summer for sure. Here's our own future parks lover (just like the Grandpa he's named for), in full, goofy kid form at Yellowstone this summer. This was after he ran through the boardwalk surrounding the nearby thermal pools. Note the dusty knees from when he stopped to get a closer look.
