The weekly Park Avenue National Parks diary is being delayed until tomorrow, as I do not have a diary ready.
When the series stopped in spring, there were a decent number of writers who had signed up to write diaries. However, due to our going away for the summer, I do not currently have any diarists queued up for diaries, and my schedule doesn't always leave time for me to write something up.
Do you have a story to tell about your national parks, monuments, seashores, or historic sites? If so, we'd love to include your story in our national parks series that normally runs in this time slot. Send a message to Phoenix Rising or to the Park Avenue group with the name of the park or parks that you want to write about and we will get right back to you to begin talking about scheduling your diary for inclusion in the series. BTW - your diary does not have to be photography heavy - it doesn't really need any photos at all - but if feel you need to include photos and don't have any to contribute, Flickr offers a search for Creative Commons licensed photos which you can use to illustrate your diary.
This week's diary will be posted tomorrow in lieu of the normal Park Avenue Open Thread, and will be on the Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument.
Thank you for your patience, and I hope to see some contributors step forward to make this once again a vibrant ongoing series!
