Yep, great stuff, but as my friend put it, "why does he use that same music in every film? I am waiting for the civil war to break out!"
Oh and ryebread, I am ready for the grand tour as well. Quit and hit several of the parks. As I flew into Seattle this summer we saw the mountains poking through and above the clouds, it really is amazing! I am not a big fan of hiking, but the series makes me want to hike!
I've been watching it every night and plan on ordering the dvd set. It's really amazing! It makes me wonder, yet again, why I didn't go to forestry school so I could become a park ranger. Oh yeah, that whole 20/20 vision requirement... that's right. (at least in NYS)
Anyway, I am a political science junkie, so learning about all the hurdles they went through in congress to establish these parks has been really fascinating to me. I love the way John D. Rockefeller just went around buying up land and donating it for the parks while they were dragging their heels on the floor. That's totally awesome.
I have been watching it every night. They are also showing 30 minutes previews before each program on our National Parks in WA.
I think the show is great and very informative; I never knew they created so much controversy in the beginning. I have a slight obsession with visiting as many or our National Parks as possible
