I am just finishing my 2nd week of work at YNP and thus far I am enjoying every minute of it. I am at the South Entrance, which is more remote from the rest of the park, yet I am closest to Grand Tetons NP which is just amazing. On my first day off went on a great hike with my roommate. I only had to hike 11 miles up to the top of the mountain, but boy did I have great cell service there!
This week I was sent on an all day tour of the park and handed a 200 page inside guide of information about the park. I felt like I was back at school, lots to learn. Today we were given bear protection training so now that I am informed they better watch out. I have actually seen 3 Grizzlies and 2 Black Bears but not up close and personal in the back country yet. We now have the horses here for the back country rangers and will be getting trained in regards to them this afternoon.
I am very busy in the fee collection area. I am told I will process 110,000 cars before the season is done, and that is just me. The mosquito’s are killer out here but supposedly will only be really bad for the next 6 weeks. I am holding someone accountable to that statement.
Until Next Time!
