replying to @cairochris @cairochris We could see that, plus he's completely naked, which we feel is a problem for an anthropomorphic animal. #parkchat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A4. As a full time RV traveler, I often have public lands as my backyard! The thing I love most about it is the ability to go on long hikes right out my door and to sit on my patio and gaze out at quiet, peaceful nature! #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 Diversity of landscapes. In flora, fauna, and scenery. And seeing how a park is truly dynamic and living - in the day-to-day change, in the visitors, and in its residents. Something you donāt see in a single four hour visit. #ParkChat

Q5 #ParkChat Small things you take for granted, like internet, cell phone signal and running water, are far and few between in a lot of parks. How would you handle these problems? Would you be excited to not have the pressures of modern society? Would you miss it?

replying to @louisbink @louisbink @aubreylenae16 You nailed it here, Bink, with immersion. Working in a park yields such a deep understanding of its natural workings year round. #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A4. Being hidden and experiencing the wildlife and many other moments those just visiting a short period miss. Plus one seasoning had my own private beach. #parkchat

replying to @Stars252525 @Stars252525 @Wild_Tribute @VicksburgNPS I hadn't until then. I chatted with them for about an hour and watched them work on a massive bronze statue and two plaques. It's a complex process. One of the guys even had a chemistry degree! #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 @59NationalParks A3. Hard to choose, but for now I'll go with Olympic NP. It has so many landscapes. Seashore, rain forest, meadows, mountains. It is simply magical. #parkchat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A3 Grand Tetons, though it's got to be pretty expensive to live in Jackson Hole. Park seems to be manageable size. Neighboring Yellowstone seems overwhelming. #parkchat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A4) Having the opportunity to actually be one of the Rangers who works outdoors instead of being stuck inside most of the time and don't get the chance to see the park. Perhaps maybe that's why I liked maintenance instead. #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A6: I work remotely, so having access to wifi at least some of the time is a reality for us. We also have a school aged son now, so proximity to public education is a factor in where we decide to go. Some duty stations don't have either. #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A5 I must admit I like running water and flushing toilets. I wish I was not addicted to my phone as I am. The cell service would be an adjustment, but I could handle it eventually. #ParkChat

@aubreylenae16 A5) I would LOVE to live a life free of technology with few possessions and wide open spaces. I'd miss running water, though.

replying to @publiclandlvr @aubreylenae16 That said, I do enjoy times when we can completely unplug and we are intentional about searching out those opportunities as a family. #parkchat
