In March 2014 I started thinking about all of the National Park Service Sites within day-trip distance of my home base in Washington, DC. I then realized that I had established a bad habit of saying, “I want to visit there one day.” But I never found “one day” on my calendar. I found days that I filled with trips to restaurants or sitting on the couch, but not days that I got out and explored my backyard. So I set a goal: I visited 100 National Park Sites before the National Park Service turned 100 on August 25, 2016. I called it #100by100
