A2: Best part of a roadtrip is being on your own schedule and having the ability to stop and sightsee as you please! Least appealing is definitely being stuck for too long in a car! #ParkChat

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 The most appealing? The time to explore intimately and at your own pace. You can stop and really invest in seeing something. Least appealing? Driving across Wyoming. It’s a good thing Yellowstone is at the end of all that driving. 😂 #ParkChat #FindYourPark

A5 The best part of a #roadtrip through a #nationalpark is the complete and total lack of cellular service! Forces me to disconnect and provides me with a respite from social media like this. #ParkChat

Q6) Being on the road often means gas stations mnk fast food, etc. Beyond the gas itself what places/things keep you fueled for adventure in our Public Lands? #ParkChat @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute

@GalsWander I think I’d make a big triangle between Glacier, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon.
Ok. Maybe a square. Let’s add Olympic into the mix so I can get into Oregon and WA. 😂 #ParkChat #FindYourPark
