Summary

Smart Travel Guide to 18 National Parks in the Midwest & Eastern U.S. 
Camping & Hiking Guide 
(Also Mt. Rushmore National Memorial & Three 14-Day Park Hopper Travel Plans) 
I have always been what you may call a "National Park junkie." I love the uniqueness, the natural wilderness, and the breathtaking beauty of each of our national parks. In the last 26 years, I have visited all 59 of our national parks at least once, but I must admit that I visited 35 of them more times than I want to admit. The parks that I discussed in this series, I visited a dozen times or more. Some of them I know like I know my own 23-acre ranch that I grew up and still live in Texas. 
In this three-volume guide, I'll take you to all the National Parks in the United States. Each guide will walk you through the basics so you can prepare for a trip to any of the locations listed with little to no trouble whatsoever. Then, I'll give you the must-see spots so you can enjoy the best of the National Parks in a single day if you don't have time to stay longer than that. 
I'll also give you a few itineraries in case you have the time to take a two-week trip and want to see multiple parks along the way. I'll also go into greater detail at some of the most popular parks since you'll probably want to stay several nights and see everything the park has to offer. 
In this third and final guide, I focus on 18 of the National Parks and Mount Rushmore in the Midwest and Eastern region all of which are located in Texas, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina Kentucky, Virginia, Florida and Maine. 
This Guide is Divided into Three Parts.  
In Part -1, I discuss the following aspects of each park.A brief description of each park, along with its location, size and what makes it uniqueVisitor center information including hours of operationFees (if any)What goods and services each park has to offer (if any)If pets are allowed or notCamping information including feesReservations and Permits (if required)Weblinks for any reservation (for boats or plane, if available)Wildlife you may get to see and enjoyWeather forecast year-roundBest time to VisitTips 
In Part -2, I discuss what to do and see if you took a day trip in any of these 18 parks and Mt. Rushmore Memorial. 
In Part -3, I laid out two logical and well thought out 14-day park hopper plans. With each itinerary, you will be able to visit multiple parks and enjoy various activities like hiking to sightseeing. For hikers, I laid out three different hiking plans ranging from easy to difficult. I also included a few much-needed hiking tables. 
So, please feel free to use this guide to plan your first or next great outdoor adventure and have fun.

    The founder of Seaside Shadows Haunted History Tours sheds light on the supernatural stories of the Constitution State.   Bloody battlefields and raucous taverns in Connecticut served as the backdrop for pivotal figures and bold actions vital to the American Revolution. Nathan Hale is said to still conduct lessons in New London and East Haddam, and many suspect that George Washington occasionally visits the Shaw Mansion and Fairfield's Sun Tavern. The presence of notorious traitor Benedict Arnold is often felt in the Leffingwell Inn and at Ye Antientist Burial Ground in New London, where he commanded troops numbering 1,600 as a newly turned Loyalist. Picnickers claim to see apparitions of wounded soldiers seated among them at Fort Griswold in Groton. Step foot into a time when the Sons of Liberty, Tories and Patriots changed the course of history as author Courtney McInvale uncovers the Revolutionary haunts of Connecticut.

    Laos, caught in the middle of the Vietnam War, is one of the most heavily bombed countries in world history. It's where Dervla Murphy's 'inner-click' sends her in 1997, when the country had just opened its borders to the West. Her three-month trek is threatened by torn ligaments in her foot, but she makes no concessions to injury as she limps down drug-baron's trails and careers through gorges on a bike without brakes. She discovers Laos to be rich in ritual and culture, with a precious eco-system and a wealth of subsistence farming, and a people who are both kind and gentle. Yet the persistent problems bequeathed by the country's recent past are not yet behind them.

    “[A] brilliant new tome . . . If you like intrigue, hidden gems and historical treatments about all things ‘off limits’ this book will fascinate you.” —The American Spectator 
     
    The doors of some of the world’s best-hidden places and most secretive organizations have now been thrown wide open! Some of the names are familiar: Area 51, Yale’s Skull and Bones, Opus Dei, the Esalen Institute. Others are more obscure, hidden by fate or purposeful deception, such as the Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center, the super-secure facility where Vice President Dick Cheney was secreted after the 9/11 attacks, and Germany’s Wewelsburg Castle, which was intended to become the mythological centerpiece of the Nazi Regime. Readers can take an unprecedented look deep inside the off-the-map military installations and shadowy organizations that operate in the murkiest corners of our world. 
     
    “A great book . . . written with wit and style . . . Of course there are many other famous sites discussed as well, from the brooding castle which Himmler designed as the headquarters of the SS, to the shrine of the Oracle at Delphi, to Bollengin Tower on Lake Zurich, Switzerland, which Carl Jung built as a retreat for his study into psychology.” —The Scottish Rite of Freemasonry

    Join Gordon Alexander in Nepal as he drags his "heavy ass" over the Himalayas in this hilarious, adventure-soaked account of the Three Passes Trek, culminating in a visit to Everest Base Camp. 
    Together with guide Subash and porter Nima, Gordon tackles high passes in excess of 5,400 meters (17,700 feet) and explains how high altitude affects a mildly overweight road builder from sea level in the tropics. Each part of the journey brings new challenges, including sub-freezing temperatures, almost falling into a crevasse, and alarmingly warm beer. Along the way he discovers the local Kukri Rum, traverses glaciers, interacts with eccentric and curious characters, and takes in the most beautiful views on the planet. 
    Contains mature themes.

    Discover the living legacy of Chicago Blues in this guide to the iconic clubs and musicians who made—and keep making—music history.During the Great Migration, African Americans left Mississippi for Chicago, and they brought their music traditions with them. The music took root in the city and developed its own distinctive sound. Today, Chicago Blues is heard all over the world, but there’s no better place to experience it than in the city where it was born. In Exploring Chicago Blues, Chicago music writer Rosalind Cummings-Yeates takes you inside historic blues clubs like the Checkerboard Lounge and Gerri's Palm Tavern, where folks like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon and Ma Rainey transformed Chicago into the blues mecca. She then takes you on an insider’s tour of the contemporary blues scene, introducing the best spots to hear the purest sounds of Sweet Home Chicago.
