A4 Modern day pirates of our National Parks are those who take pieces of the parks home: rocks from kivas, rocks from lakes, historic artifacts. #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A4. In some ways social media. Encourages bad habits to do things to try to look good. I.e selfie with a bison, painting rocks and leaving them in a park, etc. #ParkChat
