When picturing a national park, most of us probably think of rangers that help to protect the wildlife and answer visitors questions about the surrounding area and the flora and fauna that reside there. As you get farther and farther from the main tourist tracks in the world, the standard and definition of national parks [...]
A couple of years ago the TWBR route began to take shape. When first planning a route for a grand voyage like this, the sky is the limit.
