We maximized our 2-days in the parks to collect as many National Park Passport stamps as possible, and share some of our tips to do this. But did we go too far? We will let you decide. A Quick Story (for Context) I’m embarrassed to admit this… I’m not even sure that I should… but I suppose that transparency is a good policy to have when trying to build online friendships, right?
