29) Saint Croix Island

Visited: Saturday, September 25th, 2010

The Easternmost NPS site - and the only _International_ historic site - Saint Croix was a must for me to visit, as between Jamestown, Roanoke, and Santa Fe I've developed an interest in early European settlements in the US. Saint Croix isn't a very large site - and it's close enough to Canada that we got warnings about being charged for international roaming charges - but I'm glad to have visited; the site was interesting in particular for how the attempt to settle compares to Jamestown, and how it impacted the settlement of Canada.

But honestly - unless you're trying to hit all of the national parks, it's a long way to go for what you see.
