A1: I like any homemade pie, especially when made by someone else. 🤣 My favorite pie of all time is wild black raspberry pie, one of my grandmother's specialty pies. 🥧 #ParkChat

A2: We're grateful we survived long hikes our daughter planned for us at Canyonlands NP! 🤣 Kidding - we treasured our time with our daughter in this beautiful place. It was special to share the experience as we viewed ancient pictographs & petroglyphs, and breathtaking red rock scenery. #ParkChat

👀 That would leave quite an impression! #ParkChat

A4: There are many conveniences that make visiting the parks easier today, such as GPS for driving directions, apps like AllTrails or the NPS app, pretty good dehydrated meals & modern gear. I probably use my lightweight phone camera the most. Looking through pictures brings back memories. #ParkChat

A5: I'm grateful to live in California, where it doesn't take too long to get to many of our NPS sites. I've definitely taken advantage of the recharge effect of the majestic mountains, big trees & crashing waves in the parks here. I believe in the healing power of nature! #ParkChat

A6: The underground landscape in Mammoth Cave NP features interesting formations with culinary names: cave bacon, cave popcorn, and soda straws! 🥓🍿🥤 #ParkChat

A3: We spent one of our Thanksgiving holidays hiking in John Day Fossil Beds NM, in Oregon (new park to us). It was so quiet there on Thanksgiving Day. True solitude. We only saw one or two other people. Very unusual to have a NPS site to ourselves. #ParkChat

Valley of Fire State Park. A great place to camp & hike.

I am not a morning person, either! I will join, but I'm sure I'll still be sipping my matcha latte in my jammies. #ParkChat
