(DaveAlan via Getty Images) Despite fall's moody, hard-to-pin-down nature, it's still my favorite season, by far. It's growing in popularity, but thanks to school schedules, hopefully it never rivals the busy throes of summer. The downside, of course, is that fall foliage isn't a season so much as a moving deadline.

(Brett Barclay via Getty Images) Most of America's 63 national parks charge an entrance fee, anywhere from $10 to $35 per vehicle. The National Park Service waives those fees on a handful of designated days each year, and the $80 America the Beautiful Pass covers a full year of access if you're hitting several parks.

Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

I got a one-off gig for The Word in Vietnam covering a missing person. Whooo boy, that was a learning curve.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes! My grandma had two: one standard, one electric. My great-aunt still types up all her letters (and there are a lot!) on hers.

What's your favorite social network?

I hate that I'm addicted to Facebook. But I'm getting better!
