Q7: 2.5 yrs ago you cancelled #ParkChat for the one/only time betwn Christmas & New Yrs. I heard tht you & @59nationalparks considered ending the chat permanently due to low participation. Why did you decide to keep going? How did continuing #ParkChat benefit you, @Wild_Tribute?

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks You and me both! Mr. 59 is trying to kill my thumbs. They can’t keep up. #ParkChat
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks Same. This has been me trying to keep up with threads but also check in on the questions. #parkchat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute I am eager to read this answer, but this is the cutest shirt ever and clearly means I must go to @SaguaroNPS asap. #ParkChat
replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute #parkchat A7 Sooo glad that you kept the iron in the fire - what would we all be doing every Weds night? Chats seem to be ending left and right these days. Yet one grows every week. :)
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @59NationalParks Luckily you don't need them for backpacking. Oh, wait. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A6: The community here is so special. I look forward to Wednesday evenings and the fun we have here. #ParkChat
replying to @naturetechfam @naturetechfam I didn't know that federal agencies don't qualify for FEMA after a natural disaster so there is a whole other appropriation process that takes a LONG TIME. #parkchat
replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr Hoping the resulting landslides and mudslides have been held at Bay this Spring/early Summer #ParkChat
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @59NationalParks He’s making you work those thumbs since you’ll be absent for the next year and they may forget how to tweet. ;) #parkchat

A7. I did not know this. So glad you kept it going, @Wild_Tribute and @59NationalParks! #ParkChat
replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer @publiclandlvr @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute @SaguaroNPS I love this shirt too! #ParkChat
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @naturetechfam @louisbink @Wild_Tribute @GreatBasinNPS @mvb_nps So this is where you are all hiding out! Good to know! :) XXOO #ParkChat
replying to @naturetechfam @naturetechfam @publiclandlvr @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute Yes! This is a totally inspirational group of people. Love the different cohosts and so many different angles to talk about parks. #ParkChat
replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @Wild_Tribute @59NationalParks Aww your photo 😍😍😍 #ParkChat
replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer @publiclandlvr @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute @SaguaroNPS Was just about to send this photo to @brian_heyman and tell him we need to go just to get this shirt for Emma Sue! #parkchat
replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute Whoa. That’s some behind the scenes stuff. #ParkChat
replying to @Stars252525 @Stars252525 @WildWithinHer @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute @SaguaroNPS The javalina design is just the cutest, isn't it?! #ParkChat
replying to @naturetechfam @naturetechfam @publiclandlvr @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute I know! As someone who has taken a huge step away from social media this past year, I have found that I have missed the #parkchat community way more than I imagined. Such amazing, genuine people here, and I've even got to meet many in person over the last couple years.
replying to @iStefPayne @iStefPayne @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute I may have had crib notes. #ParkChat
replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @naturetechfam I just learned this now. Wow. That is shocking. #ParkChat
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute Congrats, we'll miss you every week! Good luck on your adventures! #Parkchat
replying to @InnerCompass @InnerCompass @publiclandlvr @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute It is SO fun to meet in person! We love making that happen when we can, too! #parkchat
replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer @Wild_Tribute @59NationalParks Me either. I do not show up most of the time but enjoy when I see #ParkChat in progress. #travel #funness
A7. No one will really know the personal value of #ParkChat to me. Like minded folks who are willing to share their passion regarding our public lands were hard to come by before starting Wild Tribute. The chat has also been symbolic of the spark to do what I do today. #ParkChat
replying to @naturetechfam @naturetechfam @publiclandlvr @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute Yeah, I know. It's too bad that #pimentoloafchat didn't make it #parkchat
replying to @InnerCompass @InnerCompass @naturetechfam @publiclandlvr @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute I hear you on this. #ParkChat is always something I am excited to see on my timeline.
replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @Stars252525 @WildWithinHer @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute @SaguaroNPS I wish they looked that cute 😂 #ParkChat
replying to @melissa_sue @melissa_sue @Wild_Tribute We’ll have to set up a remedial twitter thumbs class when Ben gets back. #ParkChat

Q8. Ben, you're an entrepreneur and adventurer extraordinaire. We've all benefited from your generous expertise and look forward to following your grand adventure! What are your best tips for pursuing a rewarding life in the great outdoors? 🌎 @Wild_Tribute #ParkChat
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @melissa_sue @Wild_Tribute We have no idea how you do it! If we're not on a keyboard for #Parkchat, it's curtains for us.
replying to @melissa_sue @melissa_sue @WildWithinHer @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute @SaguaroNPS @brian_heyman Yes, I believe Emmas Sue does need this tee. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute I love hearing that. We all need that spark to give us light on the darker days. I am glad you found a community that embraces you so well. Don't worry, everyone is still here when you need. #ParkChat
A7 (cont). Also would remiss if I didn’t say how much I’ve appreciated the support of Mr. 59 through the years along with our HOFers and weekly regulars. We do this simply for community and to keep fighting the good fight for #4theParks #ParkChat
replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr A7) So grateful you hung on to #ParkChat @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute! You have positively changed people's lives as a result, and I'm not exaggerating. One solid example of how the Internet can generate good in the world. I wish you similarly joyful results on your journey✌
