A7. I need to get back to a certain MD NPS site when the secret service hasn’t closed off 2/3 of it due to a certain guest, and I need to get back to Wind Caves after losing scores of pictures thanks to not being able to undo a camera setting triggered in the dark. #parkchat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A7) #Parkchat I've been stuck a few times, ran out of gas in @HaleakalaNPS and @Volcanoes_NPS but it turned out fine since I didn't really want to go anyway! Turns out, exploring those mountains uses a lot of Gas!

A7: Reason to cut a trip short at altitude? Being foolish enough to believe I was in shape for such an endeavor #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A7 We had to waste a day in Yellowstone going to Cody to get a headlight replaced. But it was a nice drive so. #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash @Wild_Tribute A7 #parkchat Swarms of giant mosquitoes in Wood Buffalo National Park had us running back to the nearest town. There was absolutely no question of camping in the park, or even of hiking!

#parkchat A7) I left all of my drawings from Haleakala and Volcanoes on a connecting flight and they were never found! 😭 Long way to fly back, but I'll have to do it some day!

replying to @tthrash @tthrash @Wild_Tribute A7: I visited Canyonlands, Dead Horse, and Arches in one day. I lingered around the first two because I assumed I'd be able to stay late at Arches and get some stargazing in. Turns out they closed early for some reason, forcing me to rush around Arches in only 2 hours. #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A7) I had to cut my visit to @BigBendNPS because of a crack in my car's radiator. I was buying "Stop Leak" at every truck stop from Texas to California in order to make it home before New Year's Day. #ParkChat

A7 I fell to my death off Angels Landing @ZionNPS once and I had to wait to be reborn to go back - I wonder why they don't call it Angels Launchpad #parkchat

A7 We left a great campsite at Colter Bay in @GrandTetonNPS early because we had bee tent camping for 10 days straight ( the previous 4 in a bad campsite in @YellowstoneNPS) and needed a break. That was the trip which inspired us getting a camper. #parkchat

A7. In Grand Staircase Escalante, nearly avoided disaster embarking on the Boulder Mail Trail. Left my phone with all waypoints in GPS in the car. Hopped in a shuttle and had no way to go back. Fortunately took picture of a map from one of the few people we saw on trail #ParkChat

A7) We had a flat tire between @BadlandsNPS and @GlacierNPS. So thankful that @LesSchwab plugs tires for free and had us on the road in under an hour! #parkchat https://t.co/IF0BrwfpFk

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A7 A rockslide in @YosemiteNPS in 2017 messed with my trip a bit. I had to find new lodging and work around closed roads. It was a fun adventure, but I know I need more time in that park! #parkchat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A7: Cannot think of a time I did not simply adapt and overcome. Even that time my tent blew away #ParkChat

@tthrash A7: i could publicly tweet the story of the time people watched me grunt at some bison as i was unaware, but i'll save myself the embarrassment and say i've had my fair share of unfortunate pictures in parks that beg for retakes with better outfits and makeup. 😂

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A7) Had to cut a couple hikes short back in the day. Made a pact with myself to get in shape so that would not happen again. Has worked out so far. #ParkChat
