replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A4 #parkchat I was a member of Girl Guides for a dozen years as a child and youth. My leaders introduced me to the outdoors and my friends helped me learn to explore it.

A5 In three words, how would you describe your most unforgettable outdoor misadventure? Flip rappel waterfall. #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute Everyone said, just take her. Don't force her to go when she doesn't want to (we didn't). She'll come back to it. She has! Yay! #ParkChat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A4: I learned to walk in the @TongassNF, but long after that my dad made it a priority to take us deep into the wilderness as often as we could go. After my parents divorced that meant spending time camping/fishing in @UmatillaNF and other @ForestServiceNW #publiclands. #ParkChat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS I have and not always in a positive way. I’ve met some that view wilderness as a place to deface and exploit. Sad #ParkChat

RT @beckyjlomax: Joining in #parkchat from back home in Montana after a wonderful week of raging waterfalls @YosemiteNPS. But mist on par w…

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A6) Springtime. Snow. Helicopter. #parkchat

replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer Ha. I've had deer reach their noses under my vestibule to chew on my hiking poles, but never actually IN the tent. #ParkChat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A7: Well I encountered someone willing to espouse their political beliefs on me while resting on trail, simply because I live in Texas and they thought I would agree with them. No place for it in that time and place. #ParkChat

replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer You should have gone with the deer answer. #ParkChat

replying to @Ben_Wanderin @Ben_Wanderin @WildWithinHer Better than mice, marmots, raccoons, or bears! #ParkChat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A5 #parkchat I have and it’s gone well! I love introducing others to the backcountry.

replying to @Ben_Wanderin @Ben_Wanderin And sadly, there was no deer in the tent. Autocorrect strikes again. Should have been Deet. Inside. Tent. Less "wow" but equally memorable. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks Totally. I laughed when I saw the misprint. #ParkChat

Yes. I believe that when I leave the wilderness… no one should know I was ever there. #parkchat #WildPlaces

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A7 Yes, there is still a fraction of the population who think it’s a good idea to leave their marks in wilderness…a statement of “I’ve been here.” Like carving names on trees. Totally counter to Leave No Trace. #ParkChat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A7) Oh yeah, though I'm a follower of the @leavenotrace principles I've met many out in the Public Lands who don't share the same views and do as they please. #ParkChat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A7: thankfully there is still some intellectual diversity to be had :-) #ParkChat

Q8) Some experiences are best shared together! Who’s your favorite adventure buddy? #parkchat

replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer Too funny! After this autocorrect incident, you'll probably actually have a deer in your tent next trip. #parkchat

One of these nights I won’t be totally exhausted or busy and able to partake in #ParkChat.
That’ll probably happen once I’ve submitted my students’ grades and it’s finally summer.
Until then, have some pretty pictures? #FindYourPark

replying to @coasthikergirl @coasthikergirl #parkchat Yes, we do too! Those experiences are often cherished.

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A5: Plenty of times. Mostly positive but there are always "those people" . Do not be one of "Those People" #ParkChat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A7 Everyime I encounter a hiker wearing earbuds...#ParkChat

replying to @Ben_Wanderin @Ben_Wanderin No doubt! And then I'll really have something to write about. #ParkChat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A6: camping at Robert Treman State Park in NY we tried to get our dinner cooked on the fire before the downpour. No luck. neighbors invited us to break bread with them. We ended up spending the whole week with this family and had big dinner party on our last night. #ParkChat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A5 been introducing this one to nature for a couple years now - at first while babywearing and now she’s hiking on her own. Her eyes light up when she hears that it’s time for another “adventure.” First real camping experience coming up this summer at @IndianaDunesNPS #parkchat

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A7 #parkchat Definitely. Some people want to have lots more access to wilderness than I believe we should.

replying to @BeringLandNPS @BeringLandNPS A8: These awesome humans I call family 💚 #ParkChat
