I've only been to three National Parks, or four if you count New River Gorge retroactively.

Great Smokies, Shenandoah, and Badlands are the other three I've been to.

I've been to tons of natural attractions but very few national parks because most of the stuff up here isn't a national park.

National Parks do have a lot of rules. Can you fish in a national park?

Usually yes, there are waters where people can fish.  Live bait is almost universally disallowed.  Waters tend to be mostly catch & release and they often have regulations to make anglers use barbless hooks for easier release.  Some parks also disallow leaded fishing tackle.

I guess catch and release doesn't kill any fish.

I've made it to 12 of the 63 national parks: Acadia, Badlands, Cuyahoga Valley, Grand Canyon, Haleakala, Indiana Dunes, Joshua Tree, Mammoth Cave, Rocky Mountain, Shenandoah, Wind Cave, and Zion. Wikipedia also lists eight former national parks, and I've oddly been to five of them- Abe Lincoln's birthplace, Fort McHenry, Hawaii (through Haleakala), Rock Creek Park, and and Mackinac Island.
2dis clinched: 8, 17, 69(original), 71, 72, 78, 81, 84(E), 86(E), 88(E), 89, 91, 93, 97

Now that travel plans are looking a tad brighter than they have for the last 18 or so months, we're thinking of a nice trip north this fall to visit friends in WA -- both in the North Sound area (Anacortes) and the eastern part of the state (she has a close friend who owns a farm outside Davenport).  We were thinking of a totally coastal trip north, but hitting several NP's on the return leg -- including North Cascades, which would make an eastern jaunt on WA 20 possible (one more clinch for me!).  Also on the agenda:  Rainier and Crater Lake, which we've never done together, and the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area.  And, if we have time, another run through Lassen -- although I wouldn't mind a trip through the Lava Beds NM off CA 139 -- snagging a decent-sized piece of obsidian for a colleague in Japan who wants to try making phono cartridges out of the material!  Figure about a 3 week trip just to shake off the sequestration cobwebs!

Be sure it is legal to take the obsidian.  In a lot of parks, it is a crime to rockhound.

Also be sure you have a diamond pickaxe.
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

Ocala National Forest (FL)
Osceola National Forest (FL) whenever I've been on I-10.
(None of which are technically National Parks, BTW)

And as far as I know, that's pretty much it.

Obsidian is quite brittle and fractures fairly easily.  That's why humans have been using it to make spear points and arrow heads for thousands of years.

Apparently with a bit of care and mindful of the grain direction obsidian can be lapped, even into a shape with a pocket to house a cartridge mechanism.  It's also non-resonant in the audio range, which is why the Japanese gentleman wants to see if it will work in that application (he has a couple of small shards that he's tested to determine the mechanical characteristics of the material).  He used to work as a designer for a company called Namiki, which produced OEM cartridges for various known distributors (Monster Cable, Audioquest, etc.); now he's doing independent contract work.  But he's also interested in extremely dense woods for the same purpose -- so if I can pick up some unfinished myrtlewood while on the Oregon coast it'll be sent overseas as well.  My reward -- I get the first successful cartridge off the assembly line!
