Almost certainly the final mileage milestone for my beloved Sam the Subie. We’ve been plotting her replacement for years now, and we’re finally ready to do so. It’s crazy how few miles we’ve put in her since 2020.
This was one of my all-time most favorite flights. Such a scenic valley! #parkchat

you’ve just gotta finish the quest before then
interesting. You have the same potus quest, but are you in for all the libraries too?
A large, building-sized structure resembling a milk bottle with the Hood logo is situated in an urban area with modern architecture and streetlights.

Grabbed lunch and several beers at Castle Island Brewing. Had a long and interesting convo with the beertender Nick, who also hooked me up with an off-menu barrel-aged pour.
I also stopped by the Commonwealth Museum, which isn’t large but is free and well-done. It’s located in the Archives building, which is odd because there are Archives staff just sorta working away around the building.
I marked off another presidential library today.
I have a POTUS quest, which involves visiting one major site for each president (birthplace, home, gravesite, library, memorial), but not a presidential library quest…yet, at least. But I think I’m probably getting close to finishing anyway.
Not cool, Boston. Not cool. 🥶🥶🥶
Two public payphones are mounted side by side in an outdoor booth with a brick pavement in front.
Boston is just full of history!

We wasted no time making it to Trillium Brewing after I landed here in Boston.
Lemme know if you bridge over! I’d love to follow more #parkchat folks.
Follow @ap.brid.gy an after a few mins, your Bluesky acct will appear in the fediverse as @[handle]@bsky.brid.gy. For example, @snarfed.bsky.social on Bsky is bridged to @snarfed.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy on fediverse.
Simply block @ap.brid.gy to stop.
Easy peasy! #parkchat
Hey #parkchat: did you know you can bridge your Bluesky posts to the Fediverse just by following @ap.brid.gy on Bluesky?
That means anyone on Fediverse can see and reply to your posts, without you having to do anything.
@kristamuscarella.bsky.social is poised to finish the 63 named National Parks this summer! And my buddy Brian Bailey (no bsky, but occasionally participated on Twitter) finishes the 433 next month! #parkchat
Uh oh! 🙈 Please be gentle #parkchat
I still expect us to get to Lubbock in the next year, one way or another. Just not sure if it’ll be this May trip or not. I only passed through quickly and Jen hasn’t been and still needs all of the pandhandle counties.
Where should we start our upcoming roadtrip?: https://rsjon.es/2026/03/29/where-should-we-start-our/
Is there anyone more entitled than an Uber Eats driver parking in a handicap space or simply parking wherever the fuck they want because they are picking up an order like it’s an emergency or rules magically don’t apply to them due to their oh-so-important job?
Jen was looking through her photo library and ran across these screenshot gems that I must have posted back in 2020… 🤣
A glass of Trappistes Rochefort beer is placed on a bar counter, resting on a coaster.
A beer enthusiast checks in a Trappistes Rochefort Triple Extra at Wren Südhalle, celebrating their 6000th unique beer on Untappd.
A profile page from a beer-related app shows a user with 6,996 check-ins, 6,000 unique entries, and several images of beer.
Huzzah! I reached the 6000 unique beer mark tonight. 🍻
Along with visiting 611 craft breweries, I’ve now officially completed my 600/6000 Craft Beer quest!

I have a custom phone number with a 520 area code and every 6 months or so I get a bunch of calls from a hospital in Tucson about upcoming procedures or pending prescriptions. There seems to be nothing I can do about it (I’ve tried), but I sure wish this person would fix their contact info.
