When Joy Ryan set out to visit all 63 national parks with her grandson Brad,traveling during a global pandemic wasn’t on the to-do list.But seven years—and countless hours spent in the air and on the road—later,the 93-year-old grandma and her grandson have reached their final and most remote destination:the National Park of American Samoa.
In 2015,their journey began,when Brad discovered that his grandmother had never visited a mountain in person.He invited her on a road trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park,which is between North Carolina and Tennessee,and after that,the pair kept planning more trips.
The journey to the South Pacific wasn’t an easy one.The National Park of American Samoa is the only U.S.national park south of the equator,also making it the furthest from Ohio,where Joy resides.The adventurous pair touched down late Monday after nearly three days of travel with breaks in between.
“We took a two-day break in Oahu before boarding our final flight to Pago Pago,American Samoa,on Monday.Three flights and nearly seventeen flying hours were required before we touched down in American Samoa on Monday evening,” Brad said.
Visiting national park number 63 is a “bittersweet” milestone,Brad continued.It marks both the end of their mission and a historic achievement for Joy,who officially became the oldest person to visit all 63 national parks.
“Standing at the finish line in American Samoa affirms that seemingly impossible goals are in fact possible if you pursue them with passion and pure intention,” Brad said.“Grandma Joy has taught the world that you are never too old to show up and live the adventurous life of your dreams.It has been the greatest privilege of my life to be in the driver’s seat as Grandma Joy made history to become the oldest person to achieve this ambition.”
1.What inspired Joy Ryan and her grandson Brad to start their journey?
A.A goal to visit the most remote parks.
B.A desire to escape the global pandemic.
C.A friend’s invitation to explore the South Pacific.
D.Brad’s realization that Joy hadn’t been to a mountain.
2.What was the pair’s biggest challenge on the journey to the South Pacific?
A.The long distance.
B.The inconvenient transport.
C.The financial burden.
D.Their lacking in experience.
3.Why is visiting the National Park of American Samoa a significant achievement for Joy Ryan?
A.It marks the end of a difficult journey during the pandemic.
B.She achieved her personal goal of visiting all national parks.
C.It was done with the company of her grandson.
D.She became the first person to visit all national parks.
