A8 Pretty sure if I ever had a friend, significant other, or kids that would bring about the Apocalypse and the end of the world. So instead when I return to a park I just find a different way to introduce it to my growing audience. #ParkChat

replying to @theRangerLife @theRangerLife @tthrash @Wild_Tribute Yeah, Dead Horse was may favorite of those as well. It's ridiculously underrated. The place was practically a ghost town compared to Arches, despite being just 30 minutes down the road. #ParkChat

Absolutely wholeheartedly agree with the second part of this—ANY time spent in an amazing national park is time well spent. #parkchat https://t.co/k8tBdcbL1x

#parkchat A8) My husband had never really been to a National Park before last year, so now we are planning *all* the ones I want to take him back to! It's so exciting seeing it with fresh eyes

replying to @evanturkart @evanturkart Sounds like a pretty awesome 6 months! Btw...love your illustrations for Grandfather Gandhi! Bethany came to my school for an author visit awhile back. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute Taking a picture of a map is always a good idea! Worst case scenario, you don't use it and delete it off your phone at the end of your trip. #ParkChat

replying to @naturetechfam @naturetechfam @Stars252525 @RoadTripsCoffee @wxlada @tthrash @GuadalupeMtnsNP That’s one reason I am waiting until we retire to visit a lot of the SW. so we can go in the spring or late fall. #parkchat

A9. For Mr. Adventure, a missing Passport stamp is absolutely a reason to go back. The possibility of seeing wildlife will do it for me. Not a name change, though. #ParkChat

@tthrash A9: nothing beats showing people a park you know well for the first time. it's like experiencing all anew again. i've showed so many friends and family around @YellowstoneNPS by this point, and i'm always happy to do it again.

replying to @wander_filled @wander_filled @rscottjones @tthrash Also agree. We spent about 2 hours at Casa Grande Ruins and 2.5 hours at Tumacacori and I feel like we got absorbed all the goodness the sites offered. #ParkChat

replying to @kokuaelli @kokuaelli We should have a #parkchat meetup there. A lot of us want to go or go back. #parkchat

A9. River Raisin NBP for an upcoming expansion (they’re building a period-style pub (!)), Golden Spike’s adding a few spots, Hot Springs’ brewery and seeing a moose in Glacier all come to mind. #parkchat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A9 Usually it is a "let's go back and see more" for us. #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash No. Not compelling enough for us. Too much to see! (Maybe though if the expansion was worth it) #ParkChat

replying to @billbrokob @billbrokob @tthrash A8) Yes, I love to introduce the Parks and places I've been to the people I care about, makes it super special to have the combination of my favorites together! #Parkchat

@tthrash A9 #parkchat I’ll take any reason to plan a return to any national park. 😄
But no, I’m not finicky about stamps or otherwise.

A8) I try to share them with everyone I know as I want to introduce people to the parks who have never thought of going before. Also, Hubs has now adopted the 61 quest (I think he is up to 33 now). #parkchat https://t.co/3fNF53IEtY

A9 Those reasons aren’t enough to prompt a return. There has to be more to return for most sites. #parkchat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A8. Definitely part of the fun of returning to @FlorissantNPS for the anniversary celebration will be taking the kids around to see all of the special places there. #ParkChat
