Batch 18:
-usanht: Added shields and code. Went logoless since it appears that the logos (or at least some of them) are copyright-protected by the NPS.

So I've never seen that type of shield on the Lewis and Clark Trail, it always looks like this. Was that a copyright decision? If so I agree that we should have fair use (and copyrighting silhouettes of historical figures seems silly).

Here are 4 examples of the one I added (including the bubbly triangular logo of course):
1, 2, 3, 4
I also saw some examples of only the bubbly triangular logo being posted. I tried to keep the shields consistent throughout the system, but if the consensus is that the above shield is preferred and posted more frequently, then I have no problem adding that one instead.

Weird, must be an eastern thing. I've personally never seen one of those west of the Mississippi. Would there be a way to keep the current shield for IN/KY/OH and add the rectangle for MO/KS/IA/NE/SD/ND/MT/ID/WA/OR?

Not sure, but I'll look into it.
