Feeling thankful for all of the great travel we've been blessed with this year - bringing us to a total of 46 beautiful states down, 4 to go! #parkchat

@coasthikergirl @naturetechfam @59NationalParks @wander_filled Wow!! That’s beautiful!! #parkchat

[Lissa @kokuaelli]

@naturetechfam @59NationalParks @wander_filled Lovers Leap State Park. It’s been on my list for a long time! #parkchat

[Lissa @kokuaelli]

@Stars252525 @wander_filled Yes! I love Maine. So many great places to go up there. I need to see a Maine moose. My dad has seen so many & loves to talk about them. #parkchat

[Lissa @kokuaelli]

@Stars252525 @wander_filled Both of those are 🥰 They are my favorites, too! #parkchat

@wander_filled Late. So nice to see you all! A9: new! I love exploring new areas. Familiar ones are great when the mood hits. #parkchat

[Lissa @kokuaelli]

@Rivian Wow, this looks so much larger than my current car. I’ll have more room to fit my 3 teenagers in!! I’m enjoying the ride of watching everything Rivian! 🤙🏽

[Lissa @kokuaelli]

@ParksandPoints @naturetechfam @59NationalParks That one is still on my list. I don’t know how, but I make the plans to go and something always comes up. 🤪 I need to make it happen. #parkchat

[Lissa @kokuaelli]

@ParksandPoints @naturetechfam @59NationalParks I love Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller! Such a beautiful place. I’ve taking my kiddos twice. So much to learn and take in, I love that area of VT #parkchat

@NatlParkService @naturetechfam @59NationalParks My class was rooting for Otis! 😂 #parkchat

[Lissa @kokuaelli]

@naturetechfam @59NationalParks A8: *Finally* got to the Zoar Trail in Sandy Hook!! We hiked it on Thanksgiving, since I wasn’t allowed to have thanksgiving with anyone. 😟 It tops as my favorite Blue Blazed trail. #ParkChat

@59NationalParks Hi #parkchat ! Jumping in late, it’s a wild year! A6: no NP visits here, but we have been doing a lot of hiking. Avoiding crowds has been tough, so we have been searching for state forests and local land preserves.

[Lissa @kokuaelli]

@Rivian Yes!! I have been waiting for some gear! ❤️

[Lissa @kokuaelli]

@ParksandPoints @laurendanner360 @HomesteadNHP Yup. Falling hurts more on frozen ground. My kids got used to wearing 2 pairs of pants that one wanted to wear 3 layers of pants to school. 🤷🏽‍♀️ we hike, what can I say? #parkchat

@parkbasedlearn @tthrash Letchworth! Finger Lakes, Watkins Glen. #parkchat

[Lissa @kokuaelli]

@ParksandPoints @HomesteadNHP I love winter hiking! So much more to see without leaves on the trees! #parkchat

[Lissa @kokuaelli]

@HomesteadNHP Hi #parkchat ! Jumping in late here! A7: I get ready for winter by storing food, gas for the generator, shovels & snow blowers ready, as well as fuel for camp stoves. Not to mention the important sleds & snowshoes or the kids!

@AgateFossilBeds Absolutely. Just like quiet hours. I can’t remember the time, obviously earlier during wintertime (I’m guessing). It was so nice to see the whole island participating #parkchat

[Lissa @kokuaelli]

@AgateFossilBeds We learned that the island has a light curfew where all lights need to be off at a certain time. Made me reconsider putting in any solar night lights on my property. I wish more communities would do that. #parkchat

[Lissa @kokuaelli]

@59NationalParks @AgateFossilBeds Thank you both! So sorry I was late! #parkchat
