Balance in the Outdoors

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @Shawninthewild A6) For most of my major trips I unplug from social media and enjoy sharing the "Best Of" with people after the fact. It's like taking the trip again! I blog sometimes as a way to capture it as I unwind at the end of that day so it doesn't interfere with "the moment." #ParkChat

replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer I feel so sorry for the people who travel in a constant frenzy on social media. They miss so much, including in my opinion the rejuvenating health benefits of being out of their usual routine. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7 I'm always amazed by how when left undisturbed nature will find a way to work together. #ParkChat

replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax @Wild_Tribute Yup. It was glorious and terrible all at once. We started in SF and worked our way up the coast. We loved every second of it. but we were so tired. By Olympic we were feigning disgust with the whole thing. “Enough of all this! It’s too pretty!!” 😂 #FindYourPark #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7. The amazing ability of the flora and fauna to survive the harsh desert is always a striking balancing act! #ParkChat

I live next to the Everglades. Elevation of any kind freaks me out. 😂 #FindYourPark #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A5 We have a favorite trail at our nearest state park and it’s always different...sometimes the creeks/falls are dry, sometimes they’re raging...sometimes I see a dung beetle 🐜 💩 sometimes I don’t 🤣#ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A8. The struggle is real! I guess the best thing I can say is schedule it, plan it, and do it! Even when you can't get out the marker on the calendar and the planning will keep you driving for that goal! Oh, and take to enjoy it when you're there! #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A8: Move to where there is access to the outdoors. #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A8) I'll try to block out occasional weekend road trips to closer destinations to get my fix between bigger journeys, or explore interesting corners of my city. #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A8: We sold our house, our truck, our furniture and just about everything else we owned to live in our RV and travel. Now every day is an adventure! #parkchat

A9. I don't know if it's a favorite, but the backcountry at @BandelierNPS has quite a few examples of balancing rocks. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @Shawninthewild A7: Moose in urban areas, during the rut, can can “relatively” docile if you are careful and know what to look for (except that one time). #ParkChat
