Tomorrow morning, Matt and I are off to Washington, D.C. for a four-day getaway. We’ll be back Sunday night, so my blog will be on a break for a few days. Farewell!

More National Park Service stuff:

A page on the official National Park Service typography used on all brochures, guides, and so on, familiar if you’ve ever visited a NPS site.

Guidelines for use of the typefaces, and some basic guidelines to typesetting in general. (As I’ve noted before, I dig this kind of stuff.

A collection of maps of all National Park Service sites, viewable by state or in alphabetical order.

100 Days, 48 States. Daniel Cohen travelled around the continental U.S. via motorcycle, collecting “passport stamps” from National Park sites (here’s an explanation). One of my favorite parts of this site is the national map with links to the routes he traveled each day.

I love this stuff — it’s always been my dream to take a long stretch of time and travel all over the country.
