I've got time off this summer and really want hit this road trip I've been planning.

NOLA > Jackson Hole > Huntington Beach > NOLA

Hit all the National Parks in between, try to sleep in a tent in another park every day. Stay with friends in Denver, Jackson Hole, and L.A.

I just need a partner in crime with as much time off as I have who likes to sleep outside. Slim pickings.

I left Gold Rush NHP off the list. Forgot it was part of the NPS system. You can find it in Seattle, and Skaway, AK. Parks Canada manages the Chilkoot Trail National Historic Site, which is part of it too.

cool, that adds another. I think the Natchez Trace falls under the same category or something very similar.
