A2) The things that appeal most to me are the elements of freedom and exploration! Finding places you never knew about! I'd prefer to have less potholes on the highways and zero tailgaters haha! Also wish gas was cheaper! 🤪⛽️#ParkChat

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 A2) Most appealing - Controlling your own destiny as to what to stop and see along the way. Least appealing - we're often roadtripping with a flight on either end, so we do have a kind of strict itinerary. #parkchat

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 A2. The ability to really explore the area. The downside is the amount time it takes of course #ParkChat

#ParkChat A2 Definitely enjoy the freedom. I plan out a general itinerary and then make lots of adjustments on the fly. It's soooo much easier to do that today with smartphones and better cell coverage.

A2 #parkchat The most appealing part of a road trip is getting into wide-open spaces. Stopping for gas is the least appealing part.

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A3 Right now, my answer would be to drive through the Rockies all the way up into Canada. Planning on that trip in a couple of years. #ParkChat

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A3) I did that in 1992, actually it was 40 days long and I drove across the country and back seeing various people and NPS areas along the way. #ParkChat

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A3. I'd go to places I've never been. Probably Utah parks or parks in California. #parkchat

A2 The thing I love the most about a #roadtrip is the possibility to go wherever the road takes me. I frequently change the route on a whim because I got a good tip about something else. #ParkChat

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 A2) #Parkchat While I am planning a 16,000+ Mile round trip, road trip to the National Parks in 2020, I'm mostly looking forward to the discovery, learning, adventures and sharing the experience with others! Least appealing is pit stops and leg cramps! https://t.co/Jgpi172Qbx

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute A1) when husband and I were dating, took many Sunday drives on Skyline Drive @ShenandoahNPS. Fast forward to finishing up some work and education milestones - to celebrate we took a road trip through Arizona, Utah parks, then up the west coast. Now we take our kids. #parkchat

A3 From London to Singapore, my itinerary would take me through the Holy Land, then on to countries like Iran & Afghanistan, I wouldn't be turned away b/c my passport has an Israeli stamp, & I could get across an unguarded Pakistan-India border - give peace a chance #parkchat
