Welcome and thanks for rambling with me. My name is Pam and I began my rambles at a young age when my parents began taking my brothers and me to the national parks in our state – New Mexico – and I gained an appreciation early on for the legacy that we are leaving through these natural, awe inspiring and historical places. My intent, since I have carried that appreciation with me always, is to revisit those old haunts and discover new ones throughout the United States and then to share my impressions and as many helpful tips and clear information as I can here. I cannot think of anything more satisfying than rambling about my rambles…
