Hudson Valley. Road-trip taker, travel-goal chaser: NPS (57/63 | 238/433); NY state parks (106); MLB (30/30 and SABR member), MiLB (61/120), & NFL (32/32) stadiums; ski areas (69); beer; Americana. Oh, and STM publishing
Every so often, yeah, a G&T does hit the spot...

Yeah, you have me questioning myself now--definitely going to check one of these next clear nights. #ParkChat

A4. Yes, I can sometimes see it here in the Hudson Valley.

A2 Admittedly, I'm more likely in parks during daylight hours, but I've certainly caught night sky objects, have camped in parks etc., and it is always awe-inspiring when the same things you might see at home look 20X bigger or brighter under a clear park sky. #ParkChat

Same here too. Refreshed several times, then it was finally here.

Not for nothing, but I've been to most of the presidential libraries. McKinley's is easily my least favorite one and not a good argument for all of the things named for him. 😂

One of the good things about a growing but modest cap collection is organizing/finding them is not that big a deal. 😂

A7 I felt I learned quite a bit about women's contributions to the World War II effort while with @kristamuscarella.bsky.social at the Rosie the Riveter NHS this past July.

A5 Yep, plans are afoot for 2026. What did I learn this year? Plan for the unexpected--expect flight delays and so forth. #ParkChat

Yes, fun time for sure, EJ. Great conversation too. #ParkChat

A4. Glad you said favorite and not best, because seeing a manatee was just not something I expected while in Big Cypress back in January. #ParkChat

A3 #ParkChat Yes, Yes, Many, Much.

A1 #ParkChat Tough, fair question. It was time to move on from X for sure, but BS strikes me as adequate at best. I do not like it's inability to refresh, and how it won't stick on Recent instead of Top.
And, while we've found some good new friends, it seems we lost some too.

Present to look at the #parkchat past

Hard to say. The Ranger talk at Sand Creek Massacre NHS or just the exhibits at Brown v the BoE NHS were both very much the latter for me back in June.

Good luck, bud!

Very cool. #ParkChat meetups for the win...

Mr. 59 needs to come back to NY.

His birthplace in NYC is an NHS, as is his home on LI (Sagamore Hill)

6 Maybe Coolidge, as his home in VT looks like it would make a nice NPS site.
Or Zachary Taylor, if this is a trick question since you've been posting about him...
