THE NATIONAL PARKS: AMERICA'S BEST IDEA | The Gehrkes | PBS

http://www.pbs.org/nationalparks Over the course of nearly 30 years, park enthusiasts Margaret and Edward Gehrke from Lincoln, Nebraska, made pilgrimages to national parks across the country. As seen in this clip from Ken Burns's newest film, THE NATIONAL PARKS: AMERICA'S BEST IDEA, premiering Sunday-Friday, September 27-October 2, 2009, at 8 p.m. ET/PT, Margaret would record the start of every trip as "the day of days" in her journal. Edward would bring along his Kodak camera, snapping pictures Margaret would later carefully place in photo albums to commemorate their adventures.

Everyone who watches this series must also watch "America, Destroyed by Design" also here on YouTube. It explains very clearly how the parks have been taken from the American people by "Executive Order 12986" which falls in line with the United Nations "Agenda 21".

For some reason -on the last few videos- your audio is so low it is difficult to get it to a level where it can be heard. I look forward to seeing this film.

Ken Burns does it again! I can't wait for this series to begin.
