Greetings!
Things are getting busy here at Big Blend. In exactly 3 months, we'll be on the road 100% until the end of 2017, on our Big Blend Spirit of America Tour of all 398 national park units. As much work as it is putting all of this together, we are excited and can't wait to meet everyone and cover the parks and their gateway communities in our various magazines, radio shows and video features. Even though we have done two other tours like this in the past (UK and in South Africa), this is going to be the BIGGEST Adventure of all!
Of course, new endeavors herald change, and over the next few months, you will see some great new features come to fruition. Our Big Blend e-News now comes out at the end of every week, but we'll also be sending postcard notices on our travels and special features. You can also keep up with all our upcoming Big Blend Radio shows and archived podcasts by visiting www.BigBlendRadio.com or follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
What is your favorite National Park?
