Why You Need A National Park Passport
You should never leave home without your National Park Passport. If you don't have one, get one so you can leave home and appreciate America (and collect stamps at every National Park your visit)!

I just order mine today. And yes I’m a seasoned citizen as well😂 Always heard about it but never really looked into to much. But now I’m excited about it. Already reached out to the places we’ve already visited ti see if I can get the cancellations mailed to me. Nice video 👍
In the back, there is a section for extra, unofficial cancellations, so, mine has one from the US Embassy, Managua, Nicaragua.
Quite stupid advices
You’re funny 😄
I was at the Grand Canyon a month ago and was wondering about the stamps but I didn't ask about it till I was in Yosemite yesterday and totally regretting it lol at least I have one stamp
I was told elsewhere that the GC has 7 cancellations.
@@sfc334 NPS app says there is 10 :)
You can't be serious!
The WAFFLES ARE/WERE THE BEST!!
I also love using my National Park Passport book. Unfortunately there isn’t any groups that I could find to share my love of them. So I created a Facebook group! It’s named “Passport to National Parks” I would love if you joined and share with you’re friends that also love Collecting passport cancelation stamps
Rad. Have you heard about the National Parks Travelers Club? They've got a huge database of National Parks stamps and info about them if you're interested.
Ok so I just learned about this program. Does this mean I need to re-visit all the parks I’ve already been to? How do I get those stamps?
Thanks for your effort...You're quite lovely...However, you now have a false sense of security as anyone wanting access to you will look under the door when they meet resistance and simply push your doorstop out of the way... Be safe!!! You'd be safer taking a belt and putting it on the door hinge at the top of that door that causes it to shut...Be sure you cinch it tight...Be safe!!
Ugh. You just made me want one even more!! Thanks for showing us the live stamping process! Absolutely amazing
awesome video!
You're funny. Great.
Celebrities should be allowed to sue people who put their current address on a star map ( even though we can . Google that information ) Think about it .
TOURISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD HAVE SO MUCH FUN THRU THE YEARS. Instead of wishing people would get sued... Lighten up. The fans wanna see how they live & they're taste in homes & what to do as tourists. We've been part of Hollywood for almost 9 decades. After all the fans paid for the homes thru buying movie & concert tickets & they're products. 😃 Besides paparazzi catch them at they're worst moment & make a fortune on they're calamities. Shouldn't that really upset you? 😠 But yet you actually think Google has more rights than an individual business? Not Cool😲
Thank you for the way cool video❤ From Linda at Hot Star Maps.😃
Useless
"I want to be buried with my national park passports" LOLOL, but good idea - adding that to my funeral wishes. I just purchased the "seasoned citizen" version and skipped past the smaller book because this is a lifetime obsession. Thanks for putting a name to what i figured was a complex. I want to go to all Oklahoma state parks, National Parks, National Monmuments, Etc.
I feel totally understood! Similar hair, age, and vibe but also a love for the National Park Passport Books. I was fortunate enough to start my journey in 2016 and lucked into getting the 100-year anniversary collectors addition. Dude to COVID, I am unable to collect more stamps right now but I am still hiking, camping, and learning. Thanks for the great video!
Happy birthday June 19 Friday JEFF GIORDANO 2020
Go JOEY LOGANO 22 I'm a big fan
Timeless traveler shoutout. Love it!
I always wanted to travel the country and see what every state has to offer and then on a recent trip to Steamtown in PA I learned about the passport book and it's been traveling with me ever since!
Scranton, PA? That’s my hometown!
I just got a passport book today and got my first stamp; Lincoln House! Yay!
How many units of the system have you been to?
I started with the small passport book, but then decided to super upgrade to the explorer edition. It isn't cheap, but it zips up, has pockets in the front and back, and is very expandable by adding pages into the binder. It also has a shoulder strap and a clear zipper pouch I put my park pass and hang tag in. Very nice video with a lot of good info!
I just bought one of these waiting for it to arrive
Hope you are loving it!
Hey - could you tell me, what size the stickers have? (:
You are fucking crazy
“Seasoned citizens who are completely badass” I love this! I tried to add some stamps during my last road trip but was waylaid by the government shutdown. Boo! I wonder if your ranger friend had a mandatory vacation. I’m jazzed to get my stamps next time though!
This is a very excellent video. I recommend that people watch it multiple times. And then go to the National Parks.
Yes! You're the best and that is solid advice.
So much fun, I am one of those hard core seasoned citizens with two small books and this year graduated to the BIG book! My husband and I drove from MA to AZ and hit as many NPS as possible...so many stamps!!!
I love it! Congrats on graduating to the big book. I can't wait to get one myself one of these days. :)
You are hilarious ! Loved the video thanks wil definitely be purchasing the radar for my big road trip from Texas to Maryland ☺️
Texas to Maryland! That is going to be awesome. The best place to cross the Mississippi is Memphis, but I'm biased :)
How does s55 performance?
It's great! I've taken a few longer trips and it's alerted me to several speed traps.
Wow sounds great, Thank you! I just place an order on Amazon, can't wait to hit the road with it lol
The cascading coups! 😂 😂
I really hope that call was real...
This video contained lots of useful information. For that reason, I recommend it to others.
Nice shirt! Way to represent the 'ville!
That t-shirt is the one thing I would save in a fire.
