I love this essay about national parks–created by Americans “at our best rather than our worst”, to quote Wallace Stegner.
This piece came into my scatterbrained world only because it was open on our home computer–I guess that S was reading it this morning?
Which leads me to three questions for you–answer one, two, or all:
1) How do you come across most of your nonfiction reading?
2) Which national parks have you been to, and which ones do you long to visit? Reviews and reflections welcomed.
3) If you could have an actual summer home–an edifice on private property– a place that was yours to visit in any season (needn’t be summer only), a place you could magically transport to at will–where would it be and what would it look like?

1. Online, mostly via my friend Tobi’s recommendations on Facebook and yours here, and cruising the food writing section at Bookman’s.
2. Fortunate to have visited quite a few, but really want to go to Yosemite with my dad. It’s always been his dream to see it, and the time is now.
3. The house I grew up in, in Chicago. Or a little place in Galway or Cork.
