Celebrate/support America's Best Idea, day of service at 391 national parks

I can't tell you how much I've got out of volunteering for trail maintenance on the weekends. A few hours wielding a pick-ax somewhere beautiful is the perfect mind-cleaner after 6 days sitting in front of a computer hacking.
