Welcome! Please, have a seat near the fire.  We've got marshmallows, hot dogs, a lovely drum circle, and lots of good company.

While you're here, get to know some of your fellow regional park tourists.  Ask anyone here anything that you want to know, or ask everyone as a whole, and bond with them.

Starting questions I'd like to ask is: 

*What's your favorite park, national or regular park that you've been to?
*Have you ever been camping? If yes, what's your favorite memory of doing so?
*What's your favorite animal?

Sits down in his seat and gets himself settled.

Favorite park, eh? Mine would have to be Jasper national park, mostly for the breath taking scenery and fantastic camping locations.

For the second question, yes, I have gone camping. As for favorite memory, probably when I was fishing with my father at a campground I forgot the name of and caught my first ever fish.

Lastly, my favorite animal is simply the domestic cat. I own one myself and can't even begin to tell you how much I love them. Everything about them, from their adorable purrs to their loyalty, is what makes them my personal favorite animal.

My favorite national park that I have been to might be Yellowstone National Park.  I have enjoyed most national parks I have been to though.  I enjoy seeing the wildlife roaming freely and the scenery of the geothermal and geological activity.

I have been camping a few times with my favorite memory being from a Yellowstone trip (somewhere around ten years ago is my guess for when it was) when I walked with my dad away from where we were setting up our tent before it was set up and saw a snake slithering around (I don't see many of those).  We notice the wind blowing hard and I looked up and started laughing because I saw our tent get picked up by the wind and my mom running after it.

Favorite animal is a hard question for me to answer because I like so many animals.  My most recent long time favorite has been the orca so I think I will say that for now.  I like that orcas have been nicknamed the wolves of the sea since they are not wolves at all but also like how misunderstood they can be since they are still sometimes regarded as harmless animals when in reality they are a top predator more than capable of killing most other predators even though they are not the biggest.

Hello fellow wilderness explorers!

My favorite National park I've been to is The Pinnacles in California. Once you get high you see a beautiful contrast between the greenery covered rocky landscape, and on a clear day, the agricultural fields below them stretching out to the horizon with the blue lines of waterways, quite picturesque. Lots of good flora too.

I've gone camping on another trip, my favorite part was probably just staying up late with my friends just talking and playing card games. It was a nice bonding time, I usually don't get to spend time with them that often, but we had planned the trip for a while, so that was nice. Either that or the exploration upstream the next day.

My favorite species of animal is the owl.

*What's your favorite park, national or regular park that you've been to?

I see we are starting off with a very hard question... perhaps Zion National Park? Just so beautiful, and amazing hikes. Angeles National Forest? It's great being able to be in the pure wilderness so quickly from LA. Central Park? The classic city park, great city views and walking paths. Too many to choose.

*Have you ever been camping? If yes, what's your favorite memory of doing so?

Went on a pre-orientation river canoeing trip for several days before college started. Chilling as we flowed down the river was pretty great, as was messing with everyone during Mafia with as defender who worked out who the seer was early on.

*What's your favorite animal?

This is too difficult... so many animals have such big brains. I like penguins though.

Hello
1. Though I love nature and wished that I had went to a national park, living in the city unfortunately limited my exposure. However, my favorite state park is "Savoy Mountain State Park" in Florida, Massachusetts. (Technically I could say I've been to Florida). I really loved it and the fact that it was really remote and not really impacted by human establishment made the genuine nature feeling so

2. I've never done the traditional camping and creating my own tent but at the State Park I went on all sorts of hikes and I did live in a makeshift tent with my classmates and roast marshmallows and tell stories by the campfire. However, we had a small dining hall and good food so thats why I don't consider it camping, but its the closest I've been to it

3. Since I love animals I have different favorites based on certain traits but I think my top favorite is the cheetah, I've never met one so hopefully I will soon.

Orcas are great. I really love how they work together to create waves that break ice floes and knock seals off them.

I like how there is also a lot of variety with orcas and even "clans" of pods of orcas with different diets like the ones that kill great white sharks and the ones that hunt much bigger gray and sperm whales despite the great risk.

So, I believe it's time for a new set of questions.

*What's your favorite food or drink?
*What's your favorite camping activity?
*If you have, what is the most bizarre thing you've either done or witnessed while camping?

*What's your favorite food or drink?

In general? Food is too difficult to say, probably family cooking. As for drink, I think I must choose water.

*What's your favorite camping activity?

Playing Mafia, as explained previously, around a campfire. Maybe while eating sweet things.

*If you have, what is the most bizarre thing you've either done or witnessed while camping?

My friend gave birth to a watermelon. And then we ate the watermelon.

Was this an Office reference? I do not know, I didn't realize it may have been one until I just Googled "give birth to a watermelon" to see if this is a common camp prank.
