Talk to detail Leesylvania State Park journey

Paul Marine will be at the Leeyslvania State Park Visitor Center on Sunday at 6 p.m. to share his experi-ences and the knowledge he gained while visiting all 35 Virginia State Parks.

A CIA retiree, Marine became the first-known person to compete the "Parks and Paths Pass-port" program. Between 2005 and 2007, he spent time hiking at each park and taking photo-graphs.

A longtime resident of Northern Virginia, this project gave Marine the opportunity to experience the sights and sounds of the rest of the state—from the Tidewater to the Shenandoah and the Appalachians.
