Today marks the 100th anniversary of the creation of the National Park Service. :y:

Thank you Stephen Mather and President Wilson (among others)! :app:

Though Google has long-since violated it's "don't be evil" mantra, they still do a few good things.
This is an excellent presentation on five parks. You can probably spend an hour going through them all. Everything is presented in 360 degrees, so click and drag to have a look around while the presentation is going.

Belated happy 100th birthday to our best idea! I'll be celebrating in Sequoia National Park next week, and I hope all HAZ'ers get to celebrate at least the idea of preserving our best places even if they're not enjoying a national park.
