Barb Smith is doing the Iron Butt Association's National Parks Tour. She writes, "I took (these photos) on a road trip last month through OK, KS, MO, AR, and TN. I picked up a few park stamps along the way to the BMW RA Rally in Shelbyville. I started the trip on a Saturday and 1,463 miles, 4 states and 8 national parks later, made it to Hot Springs by Monday afternoon. Mike Murphy joined me in Hot Springs on Wednesday and we rode together to Shelbyville to the rally site."

The object of the National Parks Tour is to visit at least 50 sites in at least 25 states in 1 year. The sites include National Parks, National Monuments, National Historic Sites, National Recreation Areas, or any othe site or park listed in the "Passport to Your National Parks" book.
