A10. If we're going somewhere, or interested in an area, first thing I do is google-earth it! I can spot rivers, nearby lakes, and other points of interest around campsites or hotel locations we'd be staying. If something looks promising, we google it further. 😀👍

Growing up in the mountains, we'd get wild burrows every summer. But thats not quite the same. They were more like big raccoons, getting into trash cans and messing up peoples lawns! 😄 #parkchat

😳Its always astounding how they remain standing like they do! Especially with high winds, earthquakes, etc. Still cool to see tho! #parkchat

Seeing wild horses would be amazing! I hear they're pretty friendly and curious. 😀

A6 #ParkChat TBH, it was my first trip to Badlands NP in 2012. That first overlook, I texted my friend Greg (who I knew had been there before), "Why did you never tell me?" He responded, "You needed to see it yourself."

A5. Big Trees SP in Calaveras Co! Its a small park, but once you walk through the enormous Sequoias and look up at them, suddenly your tiny space becomes vast and humbling! 😶

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
