Beautiful sunset tonight, but those clouds portend a wintry wind and a bit of snow tomorrow.

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

I can imagine my ancestors, before radio, TV, and internet, looking to the west after this cold, beautiful, sunny day, and saying "yep, snow's comin' in tonight." Livestock would have been brought closer to the barn, and more grain would have been brought into the barn's feed room.

Heads up #ParkChat.
Let's flood them with constructive comments. I know you know how.

This is news to me, and we have until October 9th to comment. "In a notice published in the Federal Register today, September 9, 2025, the agency issued a formal Request for Information (RFI) asking visitors to share stories and suggestions about how the nation’s parks can better serve the public."
Today, the National Park Service opened a one-month comment period during which the public can share their recommendations or concerns about visitor services at the parks.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to tell them exactly what we want to see, do, learn, and experience in national parks.
