I'm a Brand Ambassador for Subaru of America. I'm not an employee or representative of Subaru, but I do like to share the Subaru Love Promise. I currently own a 2023 Subaru WRX and a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek (a rare 6MT!). #roadtrips #NationalParks #camping

Hi! I'm a #SubaruAmbassador that loves taking the frequent #SubaruRoadTrip to one of our many #NationalParks or other #PublicLands. I post photos of my #Crosstrek and #WRX in awesome places.
My manual transmission 2019 Subaru Crosstrek on the Bonneville Salt Flats of Utah. My Subaru Crosstrek at the entrance to White Lake Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. This is a great park for camping and hiking! My 2023 WRX at the Patuxent Wildlife Refuge, the weekend after I took delivery. The 2023 WRX during sunset at the Soldiers Delight NEA overlook

There's nothing like being on a #SubaruRoadTrip in a little CGK Crosstrek, watching the sun go down in Badlands National Park. #SubarusAndSunsets #SubaruAmbassador

This week we've nominated Lassen Volcanic National Park. Next week will be Badlands!

A8: I organized a letter-writing campaign after the #CarrFire destroyed nearly all of Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, and the notes of support that poured in were so meaningful. Should we pick one park each week and all write them notes? Flood them with #ParkChat mail?

Apparently there's a #BlueSkyArtShow going on, with #reflections as the theme. So, here's my old WRX (almost a year since I sold it! 😢) at autocross at ACU-4, a hovercraft base in the Norfolk, VA area.

#SubaruAmbassador #Subaru @subaruofamerica.bsky.social
My 2006 Subaru WRX in full autocross magnetic glory (34 ESP, and sponsors such as Turn In Concepts, IAG Performance, Mode Racing and Kartboy on the side), posed in front of an amphibious assault vehicle (AAV), also known as a hovercraft, on the apron of their base at ACU-4 in the Norfolk, VA area.

How do you give back to your community? How do you share love? #MLKDayOfService #SubaruAmbassador #SubaruLovesAmbassadors @subaruofamerica.bsky.social
Me placing a wreath on MSG Gregory Robert Spencer's headstone at Arlington National Cemetery. Did I know him? No. I spoke his name and others for those who couldn't be there, just as I have done for the past 5 years. Knowing it means so much to my friends, my husband and I make sure we also honor their family members interred at Arlington when they can't make the ceremony themselves. This photo was at the Wreaths Across America 2024 ceremony. A bag of artificial flowers that I picked up from my campsite at Spring Gap Campground. They were strewn across the campground. Me at mile marker 74 on the C&O Canal Towpath, along with a bag of trash I'd picked up over the 4+ miles from Antietam Creek Campground. Most of the trash was dog poop bags people had left along the towpath. I mean, I guess I'm glad they scooped the poop, but they need to #PackItOut if they are really going to #LeaveNoTrace.

Tonight's #ParkChat (which you are always welcome to join in and respond to asynchronously) was all about community service, since today is MLK Jr's birthday!

Live life in a way where you are remembered fondly, and missed deeply.

A bag full of trash (mostly plastic flowers) that was picked up around my campground at the start of my 2019 Subaru Day of Caring journey along the C&O Canal Towpath (this was at Spring Gap Campground). My Crosstrek is in the background. My bike and most of my gear from the 2019 Subaru Day of Caring, where I rode from Spring Gap to Fifteenmile Creek campground, picking up trash along the way. Most of the trash I picked up was microplastics and cigarette butts, so it didn't take up much space (thankfully). A black bag full of nasty trash I picked up between Antietam Creek Campground and MM71 on the C&O Canal Towpath during the 2021 Subaru Day of Caring. Most of the trash here was dog poop bags, which made me pretty angry. You bag the trash, but refuse to take it with you? Me with the even-larger bag of trash at MM74 along the C&O Canal Towpath. In the 2 miles between 72 and 74, almost all the trash I picked up was either plastic water bottles or bags of dog poop.
