Learning On The Road

Road schooling affords the unique opportunity to learn as you travel.  To experience history, science, and nature beyond reading about the topics in books.  One such resource for learning is the National Park System, encompassing National parks, National Monuments, and National Memorials, National Forests, Trails, Parkways, Harbors, etc.
