Good evening #Parkchat! Fred & Laura Jolly join us tonight from Michigan. The Jolly’s have accomplished big outdoor goals inc. visiting all 60 USNPs. This year at age 62 - Fred completed a thru-hike of the App. Trail w/ a goal of raising money for the National Park Foundation.

The Jolly's host 2 websites https://t.co/bx4u2X1CS1 which chronicles their 2.5 yr 60 NPS road trip & https://t.co/6nWxrQBBa8 which tracked Fred’s AT hike. 2MM people hike on the trail annually, but only 1/10 of 1% complete it & less than 600 60-year-olds have finished! #parkchat

After an incredible experience in #Nepal I’m happy to be back to #ParkChat. Tonight as a participant only. Don’t worry @louisbink. I won’t hijack tonight’s chat. Probably. @Wild_Tribute

I'm here and I'm sorry. The turkey is gone. I ate all the sweet potato casserole and drank all the moonshine. #ParkChat

replying to @louisbink @louisbink How did you go about the fundraiser? I do long distance cycling and backpacking, hope to do thru hikes of the Triple Crown and several cross country rides, and would like to use it in a similar manner. #ParkChat

Q1 Congrats Fred (Fred’s trail nickname was Santiago) - Hiking 2,190 miles from Georgia to Maine through 14 states over 6.5 months is a huge undertaking and a huge accomplishment! What has been your grandest accomplishment in the great outdoors? Share some pictures. #ParkChat

replying to @louisbink @louisbink A1: Simply rebooting my couch potato mindset to an outdoors one and enjoying the trails of our National Parks. A thru-hike interests me though #ParkChat

A1 - Keeping it in the NPs, this was in the Top 3 "Grand Adventures" for sure - taking our daughter and son-in-law on a 10-day rafting trip down the Colorado River; it was incredible! #ParkChat

replying to @louisbink @louisbink A1 I know this will make some of the #parkchat crew roll their eyes, but, without apologies, the hike up Zion's Angels Landing may be mine.
