replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A8. I have different interests in different seasons. I just try to juggle travel time for all of it. Try not to overdo, say, the ski days or the ballpark days, but just work in as much as I can. #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

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A8: Honestly it’s tough and it sometimes comes in waves. You ever stop and think, “When was my/our last adventure?” And then say, “let’s change that right now”! #ParkChat

replying to @ThatOutdoorGuy @ThatOutdoorGuy It's like a resource management exercise with time (mostly). It's amazing what we can really get out and go do when our resources are aligned #Parkchat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild a8 - The key is the fight to be "In the Present" When at work - concentrate on work - when with family concentrate on family. When in the great outdoors - soak it all in / minimize your distractions. #ParkChat

replying to @RCGibby73 @RCGibby73 @Wild_Tribute Definitely getting family outdoors is a great way to fill two very important things for me! #ParkChat

replying to @cairochris @Shawninthewild Thunder River is August...really looking forward to that one. Doing that with a friend. If the aforementioned situation goes anywhere, then I would probably look at doing Nankoweap with them around September. Saving that for last, pretty difficult. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A6: i always have phone in airplane mode in nature to preserve battery longer so I can take pictures. I share when I get home or maybe back at camp. #ParkChat

replying to @carriganbw @carriganbw Wow. That’s a lot of harlequins. Only place I’ve seen that many is LeHardy Rapids. Is that where you were? #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

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 @WanderlustJ1 @Shawninthewild What a productive time that was. John Muir took Teddy Roosevelt camping in Yosemite & by the end of his presidency an area as large as Texas had been saved. You probably already know that. #ParkChat
