A4. Oh yes. Pogonip Open Space in Santa Cruz Mountains. Hidden trail that only a few locals know about with a koi pond, old kiln, & a very special space of a rock shrine garden. #ParkChat

Ooo! A1 Glacier NP --discovered huckleberry ice cream & pies at a food shack! And, although not NP -- the best Huli Huli chicken we had was on a side of the Road to Hana in Maui. That was out of this world!! #parkchat

A1: Totally depends on where you are going. Buy Autumn is a perfect season to travel. Especially along the West Coast, where the leaves are changing & fog retreats. Oregon Coast roadtrip comes to mind. #parkchat

A3: Yes! The rock garden above the old kilns in Pogonip Open Space in Santa Cruz Mountains. It's a place out-of-time with people creating the rock piles with wishes & dedications. #parkchat

A7. Well, we've only been to one NP this year (😔), so it'd have to be Lassen again. We were out walkin around late at night while camping at Summit lake, and managed to take some cool lake-pics.

A4: Don't know if it'd be called a 'bucketshot' or not, but we still think it's pretty cool. This was taken at 1:30am while camping at Summit Lake in Lassen NP. 😃

A9: Not in an NP, but on the way to Fort Ross, #California State Historic Site, we stopped at a cafe, called Russian House #1. "Serve yourself, pay what's fair" was the concept. The food was delicious! #parkchat

Q1: On our last trip to Akumal, Mexico, there was a burger shanty right on the beach at our resort. They had every Mexican condiment available, except I chose to just put nacho cheese on it. Ive never had a more enjoyable burger in my entire life!
Now we make them at home! 🤠#foodtravelchat

Sequoia National Park, or even more local, Calaveras Big Trees State Park. We were blown away by the size and age of those things. We hope to get back to one of the two parks sometime this summer! #parkchat

Q11 When visiting California’s parks & landmarks, who isn’t tempted by souvenirs? Because obviously, another fridge magnet or mug that shouts “I went to Yosemite” is a need, not a want. 😉 What quirky or memorable mementos have you picked up in #California or anywhere else? #ParkChat
