  Light the candles on a birthday cake for the National Park Service if you dare, but there will be more candle than cake. 

NPS turns 100 this year, with a number of celebrations. 

Oregon is not overly endowed with NPS facilities, but Crater Lake and Oregon Caves are part of the system, wowing visitors and helping keep their dollars in the region.  Jennifer Evans of the Crater Lake and George Herring and John Joth of the Oregon Caves staff visit with details on economic impacts and current environmental concerns.
