Tortugas

[Dave Taylor]

It looks like that article chose to only give the least visited National Parks and did not include the various National Historic Sites owned and managed by the NPS. Thomas Stone National Historic Site here in Maryland is usually near the top of the list when it comes to low attendance numbers. Stone was a rather reluctant signer of the Declaration of Independence and his beautiful home is off the beaten path here in Southern Maryland. Still, the site is gorgeous and contains nice hiking trails around the mansion.

In terms of the Dry Tortugas, Kate and I are about a month away before we head down there for the first time. Rather than just doing the normal day trip on the ferry, Kate and I are actually going to camp out there for three nights. It's taken a lot of planning and assembling of supplies, but we're really looking forward to it.
