replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM So many. Ranger David at the National Park if American Samoa was one of the most incredible people I’ve ever met. And he gets the nod because I have in that exact shirt tonight. #ParkChat

Q6: Here at #HomesteadNM, we also have the support of many dedicated #volunteers who allow us to do much more than we could on our own. We have volunteers who give programs, repair farm equipment, etc!
Do you volunteer?
(Thank you to all of the volunteers out there!)

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService A2 #parkchat I like to think of #Anacapaisland and #satabarbaraisland as little parks at @CHISNPS

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM A5) Oh yeah, during my first visit to Devil's Postpile National Monument on the Eastern side of the Sierra I was talking to the Ranger who I found out that he was also the Superintendent and maybe even the Chief of Interpretation & Maintenance aka a one man crew. #ParkChat

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM A5) #Parkchat It's embarrassing but I got a ticket from one, for expired registration at @Volcanoes_NPS my friends from Florida got so scared, when I went to court I explained i had gotten the wrong light shipped to the island and didn't pass my safety and couldn't get registered

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM A6) Yes, I believe that I probably have gotten more out of volunteering at @JohnMuirNPS over the years than I've given. Its very rewarding to give back to my community. #ParkChat

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM #parkchat A6 we haven't had the chance to volunteer but now that our boys are getting older we hope to do so! There are lots of opportunities here at the #blackhills Nat'l parks sites, from pulling invasive plants to manning visitor booths!

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM #ParkChat A6 I love volunteering as a leader for my daughter's girl scout troop! Though if we lived closer to a National park we would definitely be there weekends!

replying to @sonlight00 @sonlight00 @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService #parkchat I would like to visit Minute Man, it is another site I haven’t been to.

Q7: What are the benefits of visiting a "little" #NPS site versus one of the "big" @NatlParkService
sites?

A4 Newberry National Volcanic Site in Oregon is great place to explore. Lots of hiking, waterfalls, lava tubes. Also, it’s in Oregon which is so fun! #ParkChat

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM A6: right now, no. I’d love to become more active in the summer when I’m off. It’s a bit hard with 3 kids & NPs so far away. Although getting them involved would melt my heart! #parkchat

replying to @sonlight00 @sonlight00 @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService Definitely. I remember thinking it would be a good one to visit on my way to the Badlands, but was so glad I stopped there after visiting. And it was odd to think my first time to the Badlands was in Sept 91, around the time those talks were taking place. #parkchat

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService I feel like we get more one-on-one with staff plus is possible to see more of the Park without rushing on to the next spot. Think about this too. In our experience most of the smaller parks don’t have an admission charge. #ParkChat

replying to @Backpackjohn1 @Backpackjohn1 @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService Yes, a more enjoyable experience when it isn’t as overcrowded. #parkchat
