A7... And he would haul that gear around the Sierras. In this day and age where ultra light weight weenies cut their toothbrush in half, he was hauling a 4x5 camera, heavy tripod and film. #ParkChat
It was such a last second decision to swerve off the highway (kidding... kind of) and visit instead of barreling through to Sedona. Glad we did. #ParkChat
A3: Petrified Forest NP is an amazing pallette of color. From our visit 8 years ago today. #ParkChat
A1: Softball question. 😂 Photography of course. Specifically using photography to tell a story, maybe about a wildlife encounter, a landscape, or monument, scene from history etc. #ParkChat
Good evening, Checking in for #ParkChat for a bit tonight. Unfortunately I've got to be up super early so I will be cutting it short tonight.
If you're out there and have emnity with your spouse or a loved one, set it aside, make amends, whatever is possible in your power. There will be a day they are gone forever and you will ache for a hug, touch, kiss or conversation.
Forgive me for all the stupid arguments I ever created with you
Completely blanked on it being Wednesday night. They are running together right now, totally overlooked it. #ParkChat
😂 #ParkChat
Haven't seen a woman take a whipping like this since Rhonda Rousey's last fight.
A9: Hopefully much like they have for the last 110 but as the population increases, managing people/visitation will be the issue that may determine their ultimate fate. #ParkChat
A7: Yep. Information about a Park is easier to obtain with social media sites, Park websites etc, so the sense of mystery is somewhat skewed. #ParkChat
A4: I get the need for it in the sphere of the NPS but less is more. The forced disconnect and being in the wild is a major appeal to me about our Parks #ParkChat

Yeah m, not a great ending to a weekend trip. It did get a little warmer as we drove south out of the mountains and back to the Ithaca area. #ParkChatb
A10: I had a similar experience in the Adirondacks in 1987. Woke up to 6 inches of snow, hiked out in less than proper attire, heater stopped working for the 2 hour ride home. #ParkChat
A9: I might have a few over the course of a weeks visit but they are starting to feel like a PITA to manage as I get older. #ParkChat
A8: Let's keep a base camp or base of operations and adventure from there. I like being somewhere for a few days at a time at the very least. #ParkChat
A7: All answers have been as a solo traveler or with like minded friends. But when it was a family trip, it was much different 🤣 No way Amy was up before the Sun or being rushed out the hotel. #ParkChat
A5: Oatmeal, some hot chocolate, fruit and/or a bagel all made and consumed in a parking lot near a lake or trailhead. #ParkChat
No one to rough it? #ParkChat
A4: There are showers at the campground I choose, East Portal, just down the road from YMCA of the Rockies. I usually clean up at the end of the evening so I can get a quick start the next day. #ParkChat
A3: Most certainly it's the tent walls. #ParkChat
Yes indeed. #ParkChat
A2: Nah, I'm in the Park before Sunrise, finding places for wildlife spotting or landscape photography. I go pretty hard, sun up to sundown and take in as much as I can. #ParkChat
A1: I'm at Either Sheep's Lakes or Sprague Lake in RMNP, some low fog on the low lying areas, maybe some steam off the lake. The Sun reflects off the mountains and suddenly a Moose appears, being lit in perfect golden hour light. #ParkChat
Good evening? Checking in for a slam dunk #ParkChat tonight since basketball/cheer was a matinee affair today
A10: I'd love to hike way below the rim of the Grand Canyon. Not sure if make it back up from the floor but maybe something like Ohh-Ahh Point, and soak it in. #ParkChat
One of my favorite landscape shots for sure. #ParkChat
A9: I'm intrigued but also a bit terrified at the same time. #ParkChat
A8: Bryce was amazing. Not glacial formed but by ice wedging and the elements. Just beautiful. #ParkChat
