Last week I wrote a review about the fantastic book I bought
at the Assateague National Seashore Visitor Center. Wild Horse Scientists by Kay Frydenborg turned out to be a great
purchase and I have paged through it several times since I wrote the review. I also find myself continuing to think about
the Visitor Center.
During my travels I have stopped at many visitor
centers. I have grown to think of them
as places to quickly pop into, look for helpful pamphlets, ask a quick question
if I have one, and skedaddle as soon as I use the restroom. Over the years, I have begun doing my
information gathering on the internet prior to the trip and tend to skip the
visitor center altogether.
Following my stop at the Assateague National Seashore -Barrier Islands Visitor Center, I have begun to rethink my blasé
attitude about visitors centers. Some
of them have so much more to offer than I thought.
In the United States, summer and summer vacations are upon us. Safe and happy travels to you, one and all. And don't forget to check out the visitor centers.
