oh the places you'll go...

carson and i are planning an adventure -- the kind of adventure where you throw a dart at a map and wherever it lands, you drive in that direction. i originally wanted to go to montana and to yellowstone national park, but then i looked at a map and saw how freaking far away montana is. so this won't be the time when i go to montana. but someday...

i would like to go on a moosehunt. i lived in new england for two years and never saw a moose! i suggested to carson that we go on a moosehunt and he didn't seem too excited about that plan. i think he's afraid of mooses. i can say that, too, because he never reads this blog. my boyfriend is totally afraid of mooses! then he suggested that we look for bison and i was okay with this, too. basically, any sort of quest to find an animal that looks totally made up is okay with me.

the plan is to drive somewhere, go hiking/camping for a couple of nights, and then spend a couple of nights in a place with regular shower access. actually, the plan is just to get the hell out of dodge for a few days. i like this plan. but it's a tentative plan -- it depends on whether i can get the time off from my temp job.

anyway, to pass some time today, i've decided to list some national parks i'd like to visit someday:

1. yellowstone
2. denali
3. mt. rainier
4. acadia (i've already been here, but i love it!)
5. redwood
6. glacier
7. dinosaur national monument (duh)
8. banff
9. death valley
10. joshua tree

UPDATE ON 10/30/07:
i've been told by both carson and mark now that i should make two additions to this list. so here they are:

11. zion
12. bryce canyon
