Some fossils in the Kaibab National Forest overlooking Marble Canyon, #opcOnThisDay in 2015.

#WildlifeWednesday from #opcOnThisDay in 2022, a visit to what is now called White Horse Hill National Game Preserve in North Dakota.

I visited because it used to be called Sullys Hill National Park, and well, I have a quest to visit all “former” (decommissioned or transferred) National Park units in the US (because of course I do).

Former National Park units quest (#GoQuesting1576) • rscottjones

This quest involves visiting all the places that used to be National Park units, but have since been dissolved or transferred.

#opcOnThisDay in 2017, I was lucky to coincide my visit to Pullman National Historical Park (at the time, a newly designated national monument) with Labor Day, which is cool given its infamous role in labor organizing.
It's not hard to find a Lincoln statue near Springfield, Illinois. Here are four that I ran across #opcOnThisDay in 2012.
Another #SilentSunday from #opcOnThisDay in 2023 in #Wales.

A few throwbacks I had posted to Facebook during a trip #opcOnThisDay in 2010.

↖️ Amazing cave drapery room in Paradise Lost, Oregon Caves National Monument
↗️ Sandwich time along a black sand beach, Redwoods National and State Parks
↙️ Fern Canyon, Redwoods National and State Parks
↘️ Shelter Cove along the Lost Coast area of King Range National Conservation Area.

Wish I had brought a nicer camera than my old iPhone for that trip!
