The first #ParkChat was literally broadcast at Hot Springs National Park on 04/01/14. The topic was accommodations. We had nine participants including @stars252525.bsky.social id have to put the physical hall in a bath house.

This is at Tallgrass Prairie in #Oklahoma which is run by the Nature Conservancy. We are so grateful for any local nature or wildlife experiences and the Conservancy stands tall in this area. Oh yeah. Good morning.

Just in case you want to discuss this, here are the details from the current administration. They are having no trouble finding new taxes and fees, huh? #ParkChat

I have not only done all of these tasks and score a 20 for this exercise, I still do some of them all the time. Access a paper map, for example. #ParkChat

Prairies are highly threatened. Let’s focus on saving those. $ParkChat

Here’s my random “horizons”. I didn’t know that would work. #ParkChat

It’s hard to escape human noise so I’ll go high and low for quiet. The teachers here understand. #ParkChat

Alaska is pretty hard to beat. #ParkChat
