replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks So when it’s so quiet you can only hear that ringing in your ears? That type of quiet? #ParkChat

A1 No cell phones. Notice I didn't say, "No cell phone reception." I said, "No cell phones." #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1: if you asked me this a few years ago, I’d say a lack of cell service is a “wild place,” 😂 but now I’d say it’s more than that. It’s tranquil, and a place you can get lost in your own thoughts. #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1: For me “wild” is a place foreign to me and where as a human, I am the minority #ParkChat

A1 For me a "wild place" within a national park site means very little human development. No roads, paved hiking trails, or even fences really. #ParkChat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS @WildWithinHer Now that’s just bragging ;) #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1) The terrain such as the National Wilderness Areas where there's a lack of human activities like paved roads and structures with indoor plumbing, electricity & heating. #ParkChat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS @Wild_Tribute I imagine you don't have all that many people, either! #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1: Wild scenery where you can’t see any trappings of civilized life constitutes wild for me. #parkchat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS @WildWithinHer @Wild_Tribute That is definitely wild, as in “wilderness” #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1. A place has a wildness if it has abundant plant and animal life, and a healthy ecosystem. #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1 A distinct lack of human presence - especially in the form of roads and other development. #Parkchat

Q2) Bering Land Bridge has no trails, no campgrounds, and 2.7 million acres of vast wild lands. These wild landscapes provide fantastic opportunities for outdoor recreation. What’s your most memorable experience in remote & wild places? #parkchat #wildplaces

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1. I think wildness means free from or reduced human interaction. Undomesticated! #parkchat

replying to @Mars744 @Mars744 Agreed, any place that takes your mind to a new place, no longer thinking about this our that but present #ParkChat

A1 A wild place is a place where all is one, where there are no boundaries separating me from you, humans from nature, earth from universe #parkchat

replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute @highcountrynews Hmm I was tracking planes on an app yesterday and heard one I thought was overhead. The app showed it was 20 miles away. Sound travels fast and in ways we still don’t conceive. Also @TUmarkwoods has a chapter in Lassoing the Sun about noise In Olympic. Might be my fav. #ParkChat

A2) Our most memorable experience in a remote place would be sea kayaking at Channel Islands NP! Our first sea kayaking experience! #ParkChat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS I guess that answers my question: "If there are no visitors around, does a ranger still have to wear his uniform?" #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1 for me, as someone who lives in NYC, escaping the noise of man, cars, city life still qualifies as wild even if it’s not as remote as our most wild spaces. Sometimes that’s really all i can ask for as an urban escape. #parkchat
