 Dear Friend:

“Oh the places you’ll go.” – Dr. Seuss

LOVE YOU PARKS TOUR NEWS!
In exactly one month we will be back on the road on the Love Your Parks Tour, traveling full-time on our quest to visit and document all of America’s parks and community treasures! We start in Yuma, Arizona then head up through New Mexico to Greeley, Colorado and then out to Kentucky, Tennessee and Louisiana! Other states on the list to explore this year include California, Texas, Alabama, Florida and Mississippi. If you are in these states or are somewhere near them and would like your region to be part of the tour, please contact Lisa at (760) 475-3308 or lisa@bigblendmagazines.com.

In the midst of packing up and working on our itinerary, we have also launched LoveYourParksTour.com where you will see that we have just started mapping all the parks (over 100 of them) we visited on the first phase of the tour, and will continue as we go forth on this next big adventure. We have also started a new Love Your Parks Tour Blog, where you can subscribe to get tour stories and updates from Priscilla, our little sock-monkey travel mascot!

Lastly, along with our Tour T-shirts, we now have an online Fine Art & Gift Shop as part of our non-profit fundraising arm of the tour.

We also have a new Love Your Parks Tour Video.
