@KG5CCI #SafetySunday Centerpoint/Goat Trail...one of the Buffalo's top 5 most frequent search and rescue locations: nps.gov/buff/planyourv… Thanks for always being willing to help, Dave. BUFFSAR couldn't work without the dedication of our volunteers.

Finally a Saturday with good weather and no prior commitments. Time to see the Centerpoint trail at the @BuffaloNPS, where I've responded to so many SAR calls, on my own time and dime.

These places encompass who we are as a nation--they tell our stories and preserve our history. From natural wonders like @YosemiteNPS and @BuffaloNPS, to historical sites like @StonewallNps and @PetroglyphNPS, they will be passed on to future generations. 3/4 🧵

#Arkansas is blessed to have some amazing national parks, historic sites, and rivers. Happy 105th birthday to @NatlParkService!
