Two professors, one from Harvard, the other from Colorado State University, studied the National Park Service's fiscal condition and came up with some suggestions for improving it. Professor Linda Bilmes discusses those opportunities with Traveler this week. We also look at possible impacts to Cumberland Island National Seashore from a proposed spaceport, and end this week's podcast with thoughts of visiting Death Valley National Park this winter.
