Coasters & Castles Travel- Barry Branaugh

Coasters & Castles Travel- Barry Branaugh I plan vacations for people who want new life experiences, to create lifelong memories, and find the hidden gems the world has to offer.

Travel has always been a part of my life. Growing up, my family took trips around the U.S., sparking my love for exploring new places and cultures. In 2012, I joined my daughter on a school trip to Scotland, England, and France, and I was hooked. With over 32 years as a high school Social Studies and Language Arts teacher, I've taught about global history, deepening my passion for travel. A stando

ut moment was visiting Omaha Beach in Normandy, reflecting on the D-Day landing. In 2016, I helped plan my mother’s dream trip to Ireland and the UK for our family. That experience inspired me to pursue a career helping others plan their travels. I love combining history, culture, and relaxation in travel. I’ve journeyed through Central Europe, Scotland, Ireland, and beyond, enjoying everything from whiskey tastings to tropical getaways like a Princess Cruise to the Mexican Riviera and a week in Belize. I've traveled to Canada, Mexico, Belize, Ireland, the UK, France, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Spain, and Portugal. I focus on creating personalized trips that meet both group and individual needs. It is truly and honor and pleasure to be able to help people reach their travel goals!

Yellowstone also offers some historical lessons. As the first national park, it wasn't monitored by anyone. By 1886, the government decided activities in the park should be monitored to protect it from poachers of animals and resources. In 1886, Fort Yellowstone was built to house US Army troops whose job was to patrol the park. Built in Mammoth Springs, it remained under army control until 1916 when the U.S. National Parks Service was created.

We now enter South Dakota for the next leg of the trip. Continuing our cave experiences, we went the Jewel Caves in the Black Hills. Jewel Caves is the second longest cave system in the United States and the fifth largest in the world with about 220 miles of cave mapped. However, scientists believe that only about FIVE PERCENT of the caves have been mapped! In one photo you will see what looks like a piece of modern art, it's the believed extent of the cave system.
