replying to @TouringTastebud @TouringTastebud A6) not off the top of my head, can I think of such ? Maybe some of the historical sites out east, learning a snoopy of history in media that I maybe didn't think about before, sparks interest #ParkChat

replying to @TouringTastebud @TouringTastebud A6 Not yet but have some spots stored in my memory bank for the future. #ParkChat

A6 Yes! But, instead of talking about us I am going to use @RoadtripC as an example! They saw our photos and others from @CraterLakeNPS and made the trip themselves! You guys rock! #ParkChat

A6: So far I haven't traveled to a national park because of a social media account. I can't say I wouldn't be influenced, but if possible I'd love to visit all 61 (and growing) national parks and as many other #NPS sites. #ParkChat

replying to @StevenOnTheMove A6: A social media account *may* impact where I choose to visit within a park or what activities I may do though. But visiting them has always been a goal of mine. #ParkChat

replying to @TouringTastebud @TouringTastebud A6 #parkchat Mostly if it's a social media update from a park about a closure or some other pending concern. Since I already strive to visit all 419 units, I'm already headed to each of these places irrespective of outside motivation.

replying to @TouringTastebud @TouringTastebud #ParkChat A6 yes! In 2016 we went to the SW and thinking since it was early June would be nice weather. It was so. So. Hot. Luckily, we had gotten tips to go into parks as early as possible, followed the advice, and had a wonderful experience!

A6. So many connections through social media that have led to incredible insights...and secrets only told off social media #ParkChat

A6 I'm trying to remember how I found out that @PinnaclesNPS had become a National Park. Maybe just Google? #parkchat

replying to @TouringTastebud @TouringTastebud A6 It's hard to say - very possibly, but I don't think I've ever gone on a trip specifically because of something I saw on social media. #parkchat

replying to @TouringTastebud @TouringTastebud A6) Not that I can think of, my traveling is based on various things like last year I wasn't planning on going to the Midwest until I was invited to my cousin's wedding so I made a road trip out of it & saw @59NationalParks in Kansas City along the way to Minnesota. #ParkChat
