[Geysers] National park quarters announced

[Chase Ellison]

I believe Colorado may have chosen the great sand dunes as I believe  
longs peak was on the state quater I maybe wrong. As for great basin I  
agree it had something to do with the caves but even 1921 is wrong it  
was not established until January 24 1922. It also might be noted that  
this is a first "draft" or listing and further listings maybe  
corrected in the future or at least I hope.
