The table reminds me of the creative “tabling” by Wade Kavanaugh at the Peaks-Kenny State Park in Millinocket, Maine. https://over60hiker.wordpress.com/2026/08/20/great-maine-scavenger-hunt-2026-peaks-kenny-state-park-dover-foxcroft-maine-25-down-3-to-go/
Like you, I love the planning of trips. My latest is to Tahoe and Kings Canyon, and Sequoia National Parks. We are skipping Yosemite in 2027 because the current administration has eliminated the reservation system which keeps Yosemite from being a “Times Square” mass of madness of congestion and traffic!

Yosemite. It will be loved to death with out some limits. That’s a shame.
Amen!
