replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @ArchesNPS @CavernsNPS Oh yes, the whippoorwill. We have an annual family camping trip @PWForestPark and the whippoorwill has kept us up at night more than once. Maybe I'm just older that the whippoorwill isn't as magical as the loons in my youth. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS A4) Though it could be better, my favorite place to view the night sky is on top of Mt Wanda at @JohnMuirNPS, I've been helping out on the Full Moon Walks there for over 20 years & to imagine that you're looking at the stars where John Muir once stood is priceless. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS @CavernsNPS A3 My fave nocturnal animal? A big loud thumping snowshoe hare hopping around my tent when I thought it was a grizzly bear. Relief. #parkchat

replying to @ArchesNPS
@ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS A4. At home on my farm, but it's not as dark as it used to be. I've seen dark skies at Badlands NP, too. But, maybe the most awesome sky moment in the Badlands was watching lightning above the formations. Whoa.

A5) We really enjoyed the evening lectures at Yellowstone, especially the one that covered the history of the park and the rewilding. Excellent. #Parkchat @YellowstoneNPS

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS @YellowstoneNPS A5. For the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of @HarpersFerryNPS the Rangers did a special program giving us a taste of what life would have been like in Harpers Ferry town the night before the Confederates seized the town. An absolutely amazing interpretive experience. #ParkChat
