Please join me tonight at 9 PM ET for #ParkChat! I'll be hosting with Qs on “Lakes: More Than Nature’s Bowl of Soup?" Pull out some of your favorite lake photos to share. It's fun...and unlike some wildlife, we don't bite.😂

#ParkChat Hall of Fame membership is awarded for many reasons including consistent participation, helping with inviting guests hosts and excellence in hosting chats. It was easy for @naturetechfam.bsky.social to “vote” @brarrington.bsky.social

@naturetechfam and I have voted membership to @btarrington.bsky.social to the #ParkChat Hall of Fame. Todd learned of the Hall earlier in the year and I remembered he wanted in. Well congratulations my friend we’re proud to grant you membership. You’re here now.

Yes #ParkChat has a Hall of Fame with many purposes-mainly to help me. 😉 When we moved to @BlueSky we had 17 members but are less active now mainly due to no private place to meet on this platform like we did on @X. Today @naturetechfam.bsky.social are changing that a bit. We’re adding a new member

Welcome to a special “Yellowstone Stew” edition of #ParkChat featuring @yellowstonenpgeek.bsky.social. For attending I’ll see if I can find a copy of the stew recipe for everyone. Until then let’s see if we can answer Susan’s questions. Who is here?
