2. Do you remember the American Bicentennial in 1976? If so, was there anything specific you liked about that commemoration that you’d like to see done again? #ParkChat

Please remember to “Thank a Ranger” over the holiday season. #ParkChat There are few places better to go in December than Dry Tortugas National Park. Thanks to the rangers that preserve this place.

Hey #ParkChat folks...just a reminder that I am hosting tonight at 9 pm EST! We'll be discussing the big America 250th coming up in 2026.

This is my first time hosting since being inducted into the #ParkChat Hall of Fame! I assume there will be some kind of trophy or similar major award at the end.

The shutdown's effects linger. Trails stayed open. Our stores didn’t.

It's #GivingTuesday, and your gift today is doubled up to $50K.

In 28 days, the Adopt a Ranger program received over 1700 volunteers to support our public lands stewards. Some folks had special requests of non-park rangers they wanted to support, too

Looking forward to hosting another great #ParkChat this Wed. night, 12/3! I’ll have a topic by then, I promise.

This will be my first #ParkChat since being enshrined in the ParkChat Hall of Fame. I knew if I publicly begged for it long enough they’d let me in. That works for everyone, doesn’t it?
We are still working on our topic but this week #ParkChat welcomes Hall of Famer @btarrington.bsky.social as our special guest host. I’m certain that Todd will put together a terrific chat. Please join us. @naturetechfam.bsky.social @camarowrx.bsky.social @tthrash.bsky.social @mountainscalling.me

As the season changes and snow settles over Lassen Volcanic National Park, visitors trade in their hiking boots for snowshoes, skis and sleds to explore a land of fire now coated in ice.

The biggest issue with the Reflecting Pool at the current time is the Canadian geese that constantly poop in it. That isn't the fault of Biden. So I'm wondering what disaster of an improvement these two incompetents have planned. #ParkChat
What’s the over-under on national monuments he ruins?

Pat: Carlson has 6 goals? I don't think he had 6 goals all last season.
Me: Oh, he did. They just didn't all count.

I have not only done all of these tasks and score a 20 for this exercise, I still do some of them all the time. Access a paper map, for example. #ParkChat
