A6 #ParkChat Google Maps! At any given moment I have at least 3 tabs of Maps open to various parts of the world

replying to @NakMakFeegle @NakMakFeegle @mjn126 @publiclandlvr @NatlParkService @PetroglyphNPS @GreatSmokyNPS @BryceCanyonNPS In fairness, while that probably really is the current Administration's priority, the reason the office is open is more likely simply that any government office funded through fees or royalties legally stays open during a shutdown due to a lapse in Congressional funding #ParkChat

I agree, but I'm 42. I used to get paid to drive around southern California with a Thomas Guide! #ParkChat https://t.co/Hsd51bskio

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @ShastaStatePark @CAStateParks Fakahatchee- all the majesty and subtlety of Big Cypress! #FindYourPark #ParkChat


replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @ShastaStatePark @CAStateParks A5: There are so many options here in California. My most recent stop was Big Basin Redwoods last November, which I visited to get away from the Camp Fire smoke. https://t.co/hKXx3quVrw #ParkChat

Q9: @GoParks has launched an emergency fund to help NPS sites recover from the government shutdown. How else can #publiclands visitors help? #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @WoodsyOwl @leavenotrace @AdCouncil @forestservice A9. Million dollar question. Nothing to do with the shutdown, but it really bugs me that my first memory of driving into Mt Ranier NP were graffiti-covered rock walls. So many with so little respect. #parkchat

replying to @EPCOTExplorer @EPCOTExplorer @ShastaStatePark @CAStateParks Wow! That sunset is epic! #ParkChat

A8 I'm really not sure bc you know the people doing a lot of the damage at Joshua Tree know they aren't supposed to be cutting down trees and people know they shouldn't use a parking lot as a public restroom. So what can you do? People need a class or license to enter? #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @NatlParkPodcast I'm here for this, I'd volunteer to help with something like this too. #ParkChat

replying to @ChasingDepartur @ChasingDepartur @TravelNevada Excellent choice. #ParkChat

replying to @StevenOnTheMove @StevenOnTheMove I'd be interested in hearing about it! #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @NatlParkPodcast Girls trips used to be to the zoo. they should include trips into the wilderness #parkchat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @WoodsyOwl @leavenotrace @AdCouncil @forestservice A8. More parents teaching their children respect for the outdoors and more social media presence for accounts like @publiclandlvr. #ParkChat

RT @unconpeace: A8 With all the volunteers cleaning up the parks, some filmmaker should volunteer a PSA to tell people not to pollute the p…

replying to @ChasingDepartur @ChasingDepartur I do like the street view aspect for global planning. #ParkChat

replying to @NatlParkPodcast @NatlParkPodcast @publiclandlvr Isn’t @NPPatchLady awesome? #FindYourPark #ParkChat

A8: our society sucks right now. People don’t go to parks to enjoy the beauty like they used to. Snap a selfie, throw away their Starbucks cup in the trash or on the ground and move on. We are always picking up after those folks everywhere we go #ParkChat

RT @WildWithinHer: @ChasingDepartur @TravelNevada I love Valley of Fire! Just posted about my trip there today: https://t.co/XY5FNQUoOo #Pa…

A7 #ParkChat If I lived closer to a national park or another place effected by the shutdown I would consider volunteering to help clean up

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur @NakMakFeegle @NatlParkService @PetroglyphNPS @GreatSmokyNPS @BryceCanyonNPS Really? I hadn't heard about that. It doesn't seem legal. #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @Wild_Tribute @ChacoCultureNHP Local and state parks are on the list. #ParkChat #OptOutside

replying to @tthrash @tthrash @publiclandlvr @WoodsyOwl @leavenotrace @AdCouncil @forestservice And that's the thing. People KNOW that's wrong but how do you keep them from doing it? #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @ShastaStatePark @CAStateParks She was a good one. 😍 #FindYourPark #ParkChat

replying to @c2avilez @c2avilez @publiclandlvr @WoodsyOwl @leavenotrace @AdCouncil @forestservice I loved those commercials and advertisements! They worked on me! #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @ParksandPoints @publiclandlvr @ShastaStatePark @CAStateParks That has the Leopard's attention. #ParkChat

replying to @mjn126 @mjn126 @publiclandlvr @ChacoCultureNHP @PedernalesFalls It’s not a huge park, but it’s popular and parking lots often fill up either go early or wait until late afternoon (2-3). If has recently rained heavily might not be able to go all the way down to the falls-prone to flooding or flow too strong to safely explore area #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @GoParks @MountRainierNPS A9: Do the right thing. Put your fees in a collection box if you are visiting. Donate where you can. #ParkChat

replying to @Stars252525 @Stars252525 It is really interesting. Virtually everything can be recycled in Japan. Best part is that trash collection is at your house. None of the "taking it to a recycling center." #ParkChat

RT @wander_filled: A3 We made excellent use of @CusterStatePark while in the #BlackHills. There’s a lot of outside left to see. #parkchat…

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr I knew it. Taught geography too back in the day. #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @GoParks @MountRainierNPS A9) Vote for elected representatives who do not close the parks as a political stunt. #parkchat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @GallatinNF A6. I'm a fan of the DeLorme Atlas. I'm a fan of maps, in general. They help me plan, and then help me get off the beaten path during my travels. Also, those brown signs are my click bate, you might say. #parkchat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @leavenotrace @AdCouncil @forestservice A8) #Parkchat I think getting more people, especially through kids programs, active in the parks, so they feel a sense of ownership and respect for the land. More Community activities in parks and school incentive for volunteering.

replying to @wanderlustmark @wanderlustmark @c2avilez @WoodsyOwl @leavenotrace @AdCouncil @forestservice Same! I feel like an @AdCouncil campaign is in order! But did you know @WoodsyAnimation is about to launch TWO NEW kids books?! I'm so excited about that. #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur @NatlParkPodcast @publiclandlvr @NatlParkService @PetroglyphNPS @GreatSmokyNPS @BryceCanyonNPS The 2013 shutdown worked well, a fact that is all the more apparent now that we have the current situation to compare it to. #parkchat

@publiclandlvr @PointReyesNPS Q7: Have you participated in any such individual or organized event? #ParkChat
Q8: We 💚 the inspiring stories of communities coming together to cleanup #NuestrosNationalParks! We're asking our regions to support local volunteer cleanups like these:

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @GallatinNF A6: Get a map, or recommendations from the locals. #ParkChat

replying to @kristarsha @kristarsha @publiclandlvr @ChacoCultureNHP @PedernalesFalls Thanks, both reasons are why I haven't been yet. I'm going to have to plan it out just right! #ParkChat

replying to @StevenOnTheMove @StevenOnTheMove @WildWithinHer @rscottjones @VisitCA And, you could sit me down in LA, including New Orleans (nice parks), at any time! #ParkChat
