Dear Bob and Sue, I hope you don't mind that Karen and I have taken
the emails we wrote to you while visiting the all of the national
parks and published them as a book. We had a difficult time
deciding on a title. One morning over coffee Karen asked, "What's
the title going to be?" "I was thinking about calling it just Bob
and Sue." I replied. "Just Bob and Sue, that's an odd title." "Not
Just Bob and Sue. The title will be just -- Bob and Sue." "The book
isn't even about them, it's about us. We should call it Just Matt
and Karen." "We're not calling it Just anything." "Good, because
Just Anything is a stupid title. Who would read a book about just
anything? It's got to be about something." "Now that you mention
it, the book isn't about anything in particular. It's really just -
sorry, let me rephrase that, it's merely rambling observations
about our experiences in the parks and the silly things that happen
to us." "Then we shouldn't call it Just Anything." "We were never
going to call it that " "Good." After a long silence Karen looked
up and asked, "What's the title going to be?" "How about Bob and
Sue?" I quickly replied. "They don't care what we call the book.
How about Dear Bob and Sue?" "Sold " So, there you have it, Dear
Bob and Sue is now finished. If you get a million of your friends
to each buy a copy, I'll quit my job again and we'll go back to all
of the parks. Next time we'll take you with us as our guests. Your
friend, Matt
Arizona State Parks have a lot to offer. They are the most scenic
places in the state; they include canyons, deserts, lakes,
mountains, ancient ruins, rock formations, cactus forests and
scenic drives. Many people think that Arizona as nothing more than

there's only one season, and that it never snows. Of course, if
these individuals would ever visit Arizona, they'd see that Arizona
is the most beautiful place in the world, and when it comes to
snow, we certainly can hold our own. It's no wonder why so many
Americans flock to Arizona, to witness the rich beauty it has. In

parks.

One of the great pleasures of camping is cooking in the
out-of-doors within beautiful surroundings. Whatever your mode of
travel, whether it be backpacking in the high altitude, camping in
a tent, pop-up trailer, camper, travel trailer, motor home or
boating the closeness to nature is rewarding. The wonderful aroma
of campfire smoke, the vista of a lake, stream and mountains, the
animals and birds close at hand, and the smell of evergreens
enhance the experience. The dry desert camping among smoke trees
with lizards scurrying around is satisfying also.
