replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute This @BLMNewMexico site blew us away. I'm so glad you mentioned it! #ParkChat

replying to @PackSite @PackSite @59NationalParks My problem is the impact that putting in a new campground has - they take up a lot of space, which often means that putting in a campground means sacrificing a large portion of the park. #ParkChat

A8) Twitter is our top social media, but we also love posting pics on our Instagram page! https://t.co/3EukEQmcDp Seriously, we'd love to follow more #Parkchat peeps on Instagram, let us know your handles/pages!

Key in life is knowing we're not likely to "see it all." So we should enjoy the moments we do get and savor them. #ParkChat https://t.co/B10I561HLp

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute @TouringTastebud @RoadTripsCoffee Best part of social media. When you see a spot that you love in someone else's feed and you instantly connect with them! #parkchat
TouringTastebud
replying to @tabbsbetrippin @tabbsbetrippin @GatewayArchNPS That’s awesome they officially made it a National Park! It’s a staple of that city for sure! #ParkChat

replying to @rscottjones @rscottjones @StevenOnTheMove @WildWithinHer @RoadTripsCoffee Well said. I completely agree. Some see it as a cool thing or a new fad to document instead of enjoying and taking in a new experience #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @tabbsbetrippin @TouringTastebud @GatewayArchNPS Really ties the room together #ParkChat

Q5 #parkchat It's CANADA's most well-traveled national park but still one of our favourites. Enjoying the view in minus 30 C temps from the summit of Sulphur Mountain.

replying to @naturetechfam @naturetechfam @Twitter Irony is that living in Japan, I really didn't know anything was down until a few hours ago. And I just shrugged when it seemed like my IG didn't refresh first thing in the morning. #ParkChat

replying to @StevenOnTheMove @StevenOnTheMove Books are still the primary influence on me. And then magazines. I LOVE going to the bookstore and buying one of every new travel magazine. #ParkChat

replying to @TouringTastebud @TouringTastebud I think the general conclusion here is that parks are superior, even though we enjoy the friends we have made and the promotion we can use on social media. National Parks wins for the sheer reason that they don't have glitches, freeze, and get viruses! #ParkChat

RT @TouringTastebud: Q8. What is your favorite social media to use? Provide a link!

replying to @NakMakFeegle @PackSite @59NationalParks A local park near where I live put in a campground a few years ago. It's a small park, and they wanted a large campground. Building it meant removing about a quarter of the parks trees, which pretty much completely ruined the park. #ParkChat

replying to @PackSite @PackSite @TouringTastebud Yes. Also may be an attitude of entitlement and, the rules don't apply to me. Possibly generational 🙄 #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @RCGibby73 @TouringTastebud @BighornCanyNPS Its #TexasNPS, in fact I ran into the Ranger who was from @LBJohnsonNPS who had hosted the chat during my Midwest trip at @HomesteadNM, she recognized Shemp. 😺 #ParkChat

replying to @PrairieStylFile @PrairieStylFile @adventuremeg1 @GuadalupeMtnsNP Oooh Guadalupe is on our "have to go back and spend a few days" list! We only had a few hours there in transit and it was 105 degrees! We didn't see much but fell in love. 😍 #parkchat

replying to @rscottjones @rscottjones @TouringTastebud @Parkasaur Haha! So if I have it correct now: 419 sites and Indiana Dunes National Park? Did I miss anything else? #ParkChat

@TouringTastebud Didn't know Patagonia until Kelly, @thethirstytales

rscottjones
replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee @StevenOnTheMove @WildWithinHer That's great to hear! I enjoy taking some photos and sharing them on social media (well, if I get around to it), but it's definitely a secondary concern these days. That hasn't always been the case. #parkchat

replying to @TouringTastebud @TouringTastebud @ParksandPoints @GarfieldNPS It is a very smart way to drive visitation to smaller parks by growing their social media presence #parkchat

replying to @TouringTastebud @TouringTastebud Not yet for me, but that is because, as I said in a previous answer, I just joined social media a few days ago. Perhaps it will in the future! #ParkChat

replying to @PackSite @PackSite @59NationalParks What area are you thinking of? I live in Western Washington, and I'm having a hard time thinking of a state park here that doesn't have a campground. #ParkChat
StevenOnTheMove
replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee For me it's reading content online, but still it's about reading. Maybe seeing a cool/beautiful photo, too. But primarily it's reading about a unique place and/or experience. #ParkChat

Twitter. I believe everyone here has that link. 😏
Is @TripAdvisor considered social media? I use it a lot to find lodging.
