You need to increase the number of parks by 4. Monuments are distinguished by having one major features of interest, while a park has more. However, that didn't stop politicans from changing Black Canyon and Great Sand Dunes into national parks so they'd get more visitors. I'm willing to let you separate out the historic sites if you must, but a monument is a park is a monument is a park is a monument is a park. I was a seasonal at Great Sand Dunes and at Mesa Verde back in the 80s--one a monument back then (and it should still be a monument now according to the rules).Judenoreply@blogger.com
