We made a return trip today to let Daisy get her BARK Ranger Certificate, no new collar tags this time. We picked up a booklet for Daisy and headed out to the trail. We enjoyed the booklet and Daisy enjoyed taking in the smells of all the critters that call this area home. After the Trail Walk, we stopped at the Visitor Center and Daisy got her Certificate.
We travel the United States for work, and this has allowed us the time to enjoy seeing the National Parks and NPS sites. We always make plans to see one or two each trip we take. We have now visited 181 NPS Units including 25 National Parks. Where will our next adventure take us, keep checking back to see. Our goal for 2025 is to be at 200 units. The map above are States that we have been to all units of the NPS in that State.

Kings Mountain NMP
The turn of the tide of success
Thomas Jefferson called it "The turn of the tide of success." The battle of Kings Mountain, fought October 7th, 1780, was an important American victory during the Revolutionary War. The battle was the first major patriot victory to occur after the British invasion of Charleston, SC in May 1780. The park preserves the site of this important battle. A Battle that set in motion a new direction of the revolutionary war. The British decided to change their tactics and move the war to the Southern states. After a series of victories, they would meet a group of Mountain men that feared there way of life would be threatened. This small army won a victory that would turn an unwinnable war to a winnable war for the Americans.
