INDIANA DUNES NATIONAL PARK: Join Kandace and Robert Tabern on Saturday, September 10 from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm at the Indiana Dunes Visitor Center to learn about their spectacular journey. In less than ten years since getting married, this ‘always on the go’ couple managed to trek across the country and visit all 423 units of the National Park Service. Encompassing some of this country’s most amazing landscapes, national park sites are scattered around the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from Canada to Mexico. The Taberns have even visited park units in American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
