Be kind. Be joyful. Be in awe of nature.

I have been camping full time since 2019 with my dog and cat. 🐈‍⬛❤️🐕

The national forests I live and camp in:
Conecuh, Talladega, Cherokee, Daniel Boone, Chattahoochee, Osceola, Appalachicola, Ocala, and Bienville.
Pinned
This is my BlueSky non-political account. I just made it today. I need a place to come to get a break from politics.

I’m interested in art, photography, camping, music, books, campfire cooking, hiking, exploring etc.

Hey new(er) #ParkChat people! You might wonder why some of us are regaling @btarrington.bsky.social. If you were on the dead bird site, he is a big reason the Garfield NHS and Homestead were such active participants in our chat.

Appalachicola National Forest, Camel Lake in Sept 2019! (Florida)
This was only the second national forest I had ever camped in so it has special memories. My dog pictured here is now watching over me from above .. We hiked about an 8 mile section of the Florida Trail. Lovely experience. #ParkChat

Remind the people in your life that you love them. Often.

Try to live each day to the fullest. Do what you really want. Go on that lifelist trip or do that thing you really want to, now. Dont wait.

Life is short. We only have so much time here. Dont take anything for granted.

Without Todd Arrington, I know I never would have discovered #ParkChat.

Garfield NHS. Homestead. Eisenhower. He was instrumental in them all.

He is also an Army veteran. He is someone to be revered. He knows what he is doing.

This tiny camper has been our full time home since August of 2019!
I set up our camp differently according to the seasons.
The camper is our bedroom.
The canopy is our living room/kitchen. We spend all our time outdoors as you might expect 😄👊 We love our camplife.
