The info we get by e-mail, on-line, and even snail mail, helps keep us informed and always seems to gives us something to look forward to, to see the changes when we manage to swing through on an annual or biannual basis.  Some things change dramatically (e.g. Tennessee Valley Watershed restoration, or further back the Lands End visitor center) and some don't seem to change at all (walking up Lover's Lane or the sand steps).   We are absolutely looking forward to returning back to the Bay Area...
