“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.” – John Muir

Casita Dean May is back on today's episode of The RV Atlas to talk about the past, present, and future of the National Forest Service. This is part of an ongoing series with Dean about the history and culture of some of our country's treasured "great outdoors" institutions.

Dean did an excellent episode with us about the Civilian Conservations Corps (The CCC and its Lasting Impact On the Great Outdoors) that you can read about or listen to right here. He also did a terrific episode on The Army Corps of Engineers and their amazing system of campgrounds that you can check out right here as well.

On today's show Dean  is going to give us an amazing 101 introduction to the National Forest Service and tell us everything we need to know to camp and enjoy our National Forests and get better acquainted with their history!
