replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A1 #ParkChat As long as the leeches are replacing some other biting insect I’m fine. There’s always gonna be something nibbling away.

A1. Man, why did you have to say leeches? I suppose we could endure but it would weigh heavy. Bring it on. Memories are currency. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A1 Leeches falling out of trees? I thought leeches live in murky water. I'd probably still go if it's with a group of more experienced hikers. #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks #parkchat A1 where do leeches fall out of trees? I would be bringing my first aid kit and ibuprofen anyway so who cares?

A1 I don't think I could make a hike of several thousand miles, even without the leeches #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks #parkchat A1 I'm more of a home body but if it was all expenses paid and 100% safe besides the leeches, yes. I'd go!

replying to @last_adventurer @last_adventurer @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute Indeed, this one is always ready to swipe any stray curds! #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A1) Since I have a history of dealing with leeches in the Santa Cruz Mountains so that wouldn't be a problem, just have to figure which vegetables to bring for the stew. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A1. Of course. I’d just plan being at the back of the group , less leaches (and spider webs) #ParkChat

replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer @DavidWDanner Nice! Where did you go? You know the real yeti lives out in those hills, right? #ParkChat

replying to @last_adventurer @last_adventurer @hksbks @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute No, but I did see a seagull flying backwards haha. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A1 It probably wouldn't affect my decision - mosquitoes and biting flies are more horrible to me than leeches! #ParkChat
59NationalParks
replying to @ParksandPoints @ParksandPoints Think of the points you’d earn though. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @DavidWDanner That's a question for Mr. A. I've not been to Nepal. Yet. #ParkChat

Q2: Trail hazards vary by season, and location. Generally, what season do you think is the most hazardous for #hiking in and out of the #nationalparks? #parkchat
BarnetteJason
replying to @ParksandPoints @ParksandPoints @59NationalParks Huh. I actually glossed right over that part (and the interesting grammar) and just focused on the leeches. #ParkChat
tabbsbetrippin
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A1. Yeah. If I've already planned the trip, then I'm committed. Wholeheartedly. #ParkChat

replying to @wander_filled @wander_filled My brother got lime disease. Ticks are serious. Leeches are just irritating and gross. #ParkChat

A2 Depends in where you are. Southwest? Summer monsoon season. Pretty much everywhere else, winter. #ParkChat
naturetechfam
replying to @last_adventurer @last_adventurer #parkchat A2 Late winter into early spring. Smowmelt making mudslides, thunderstorms, flash floods, avalanches all in the same season! 😳

A2. If you are unprepared and take unnecessary risks, any season is hazardous. But I'd go with spring here in the #PNW, when the weather is changeable and rivers are higher and faster than many folks expect. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @hksbks @Wild_Tribute @last_adventurer Some day someone will find a rather nice Nikon D200 that someone dropped into the ocean. When they do, I would very much like the memory card haha. #ParkChat

replying to @last_adventurer @last_adventurer A2) In California no season is really safe when you consider the number of wildfires we've had so far this year. #ParkChat
