Following Mark Twain’s advice from their favorite inspirational quote, Fred & Laura Jolly ‘threw off the bowlines’ after they retired and hit the road in a 30′ motorhome. They spent two-and-a-half years traveling over 80,000 miles to visit all 59 (at the time) national parks and all 50 states. Their journey took them around to another 100+ national park units — battlefields, monuments, memorials, etc. — where they re-learned U.S. history, reflected on our nation’s past, and downright enjoyed the little things and pleasures of a less-complicated life. Settled in southwest Michigan now, they reflect back on this great adventure in a 90-minute program that they share with fellow travelers and national park enthusiasts. Join us as they share stories, magnificent images, and insights into their epic journey. [www.jollyoutthere.com]
