replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer BUT...the subtle difference between a natural bridge and an arch makes you think twice, right? #ParkChat

Q11. Dams are the enemy of a wild river and gorge. But they also are engineering marvels and sights to behold in of themselves. What are the future of dams? Do you think if we could rewind time, knowing what we know now, would there be as many dams as there are today? #ParkChat

A10 Simple - the word "canyon" puts more tuchises in the seats than "gorge" #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A9. Harper's Ferry, WV. Perfect combination of water, history, and old buildings. It's also an early example in the US of people having to relocate homes due to flooding. #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A11 Perhaps some would not have been built, but I'm sadly betting most still would have been. The Hoover Dam was fascinating to tour. #ParkChat

I’ve been speaking covertly with @RCGibby73 & @tthrash We are working on a date for a #ParkChat tweetup in 2019. The place is decided. High likelihood of happening. Stay tuned. #tease @Wild_Tribute

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute #parkchat A11 I think we may still be in a similar situation but hopefully less dams. In some places they have made settlement possible, in others that have destroyed fragile ecosystems. Hopefully W a do-over we'd know the difference!

A11 Through the Tennessee Valley Authority thousands of people were given jobs and today the TVA provides eco-friendly hydroelectricity. Dams may disrupt wild and scenic rivers, but so do nuclear reactor meltdowns and coal-fired power plants. #ParkChat
