replying to @rscottjones @rscottjones @TouringTastebud @Parkasaur Sigh. It took me days to find all this info the first time. That's why I created that post; there wasn't a simple straight forward list anywhere. I'll have to go back and verify everything again. #ParkChat

replying to @e_terren @e_terren @TouringTastebud @59NationalParks @OlympicNP It truly is. Have you been? I love everything about the @WildOlympics, including the incredible forest service cabin rentals in @olympicforest! It's a place like no other. For anyone visiting the area, @Exotichikes has written some outstanding guides. #ParkChat

replying to @TouringTastebud @TouringTastebud Increased awareness is GREAT! However, that hasn't always been followed up by people taking action to support the parks. #ParkChat

replying to @TouringTastebud @TouringTastebud A10: How about both? Social helps people experience and want to see amazing park places, it’s made me awesome adventure connections, and can teach good practices. It also draws crowds and photo hype which is why how we post matters too. #parkchat

replying to @rscottjones @rscottjones @RoadTripsCoffee @WildWithinHer I've only gotten to do it once because I haven't been on any trips since February, but I enjoyed it. It allowed me to really reflect on what I had done/seen that day instead of rushing to share *new content.* #ParkChat

replying to @StevenOnTheMove @StevenOnTheMove @theRangerLife @RoadTripsCoffee @WildWithinHer The problem I have is that I don't set aside time to actually deal with any photos after the trip. We tend to travel full throttle, so when we're back, we focus on everything we set aside in order to travel. I haven't posted a full trip album in years now as a result #parkchat

replying to @TouringTastebud @TouringTastebud A8 My favorite is definitely Twitter - I don't like Instagram too much (though I do post regularly there: https://t.co/9xvPywM4sd)

I absolutely can't stand Facebook, and I mostly am only there because of friends and family who use it. #parkchat
