If a race car driver focuses on the wall, he’s going to hit the wall. Focus on where you want to go. ~ Julianne Hough, advising a contestant on Dancing with the Stars

Apparently, a rule that applies to race car drivers and ballroom dancers also applies to writing this blog.

Thanks to Campfire Tales (and those who consistently follow it), I’ve kept my mind set on national parks so intently over the last year that, as a result, my recent European vacation included national parks, should-be parks, and multiple World Heritage Sites across four different countries.

I’ve long dreamed of expanding Campfire Tales to incorporate photos and stories of international locations. That day is nearly here. Pack your bags for a whirlwind tour.

Hop in, we don’t have much time!
