Thank you @tthrash.bsky.social for hosting this spooky #ParkChat. I may only lose one hour of sleep tonight!

A9 I saw a bear on the trail up to Humpback Rocks on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I said, "Hello, bear!" the bear stared at me, and I walked on. That's it. #ParkChat

A8 Not I. It's not just the tight spaces; it's the mud and wetness! #ParkChat

A7 I've been to Mammoth Cave, Wind Cave, and Carlsbad Caverns, where I saw the bat flight program, of course! #ParkChat

A6 Haven't been to many of those lately, but Elizabeth Cady Stanton's house in Seneca Falls kind of gave me the creeps because it was empty! The original furnishings are all gone, and they don't know what the interior looked like, so they just leave it empty! #ParkChat

A5 Not a NPS unit, but my late wife was from Franklin, TN, and she claimed to see a ghost on the porch of a historic house near the battlefield there. #ParkChat

We should do more of these hypothetical scenario themed #ParkChat discussions!

Still 7 questions left, but I'm calling it. This is the answer of the night. #ParkChat

A3 I have a great answer to this question, but gosh, would you look at that? My glass is empty! You guys talk among yourselves, and I'll be right back! #ParkChat

I love when hypothetical questions get real-life answers! You never know what you're gonna get on #ParkChat!

A1 I'm not a big fan of holidays that teach children to extort candy from strangers. Although, one time when I was in my 20s, Halloween gave me a convenient excuse to dress in women's clothes. πŸ˜„ #ParkChat

Here for #ParkChat, but not dressed up, because my preferred costume takes a bit of effort. 😁

Thanks @camarowrx.bsky.social for hosting! Aside from the fact that I couldn't answer "Love Canal" to any of them, your questions were great! Then again, you didn't get to answer "Bonneville Salt Flats" to any of them, so I guess we're even. πŸ˜† #ParkChat

A11 Even all these years later, autumn reminds me of cross country in high school, and it instinctively makes me want to get out and be active. That's how I combat SAD. #ParkChat

A7 I almost instinctively turned to my wife to ask her that question. 😒 She was always the scent connoisseur. #ParkChat

A6 Just to flatter our Marylander host @camarowrx.bsky.social, I'm going with the black-eyed Susan. That, and they're really cool. #ParkChat

The Glimmerglass Opera is doing Madama Butterfly and Cosi fan Tutte next summer, so you know I'll be there! #ParkChat

A4 Growing up in the rural Northeast, I never had to make a long-distance trip to see fall foliage. I didn't realize how spoiled I was. #ParkChat

A3 I'm going to be counterintuitive and say...green! I never appreciate the evergreens so much as when they're the only green in town. #ParkChat

A2 When the temps drop, I ramp up my tea drinking! Also, I like to have a blanket over me anyway for sensory reasons, so it helps when I don't get hot from it. #ParkChat

I'm always a big fan of visiting battlefields at the time of year when the battle happened. That includes visiting Quebec on New Year's Eve, like Benedict Arnold and the Continental Army! πŸ˜† #ParkChat

A1 My last trip to P'town was in October! Lower prices, fewer crowds, and surprisingly good fall colors! I don't go to Cape Cod to swim anyway, so I didn't mind the cooler temperatures. #ParkChat
