I actually love it when we get them too spicy and the kids won't eat them because I'm just like sweet.

I just got two more hot dogs.

This is the Exploring the National Parks podcast with Dirt in My Shoes.

My name is Ash and I'm a former park ranger and the founder of Dirt in My Shoes.

I think that the parks are best seen from the trail and I'm here to

make national park trip planning easy. And I'm John. I carry the kids on the trails, I tell stories,

and notice all the things that Ash doesn't care about much, like birds. Join us as we show you around

America's spectacular national parks. We're sharing our favorite places, fun facts, adventures, and misadventures.

And we'll even throw in a little trip planning.

Let's start exploring.

Once again, we're going to talk about one of my favorite topics regarding that our travels

and the national parks. Food. Food. One of my favorite things to talk about. We eat a lot of

food. This is part two. So we do have another episode that is part one. Right. You can listen to them

separately. They're not connected in any way except it's all just food.

Right.

I think Jim Gaffigan has a really funny bit about vacations.

And that was just basically your travel to eat, basically.

It's like, all right.

So we're going to eat breakfast and then we'll go there and eat lunch.

And then he has a really funny way of putting it.

But basically, traveling, a big part of travel is all about food.

It makes your trip so much better when you have good food around.
