My freaking entry got deleted! Stupid AOL!
First, I was raving about the latest episodes of Grey's Anatomy. SO GOOD! Lots of good plot twists and unexpected drama. Watch the last 3 episodes if you haven't seen them at ABC.com!!!
I am psyched for our camping trip this weekend. We are going on the North Fork Trail, staying at the ranger cabin, and then snowshoeing up to Lost Lake. This is the only part of the park I have never hiked. Here's a description of the trail, and here is a map. Our trail is the orange line:
My last day of work with the fire crew is Wednesday. Bittersweet, since I like working and I like money, but I don't like that I keep getting sick from inhaling all that smoke and hiking up and down mountains in cold windy weather. I'll be unemployed again until at least Mid March, maybe April if I don't get the crew leader job. WISH ME LUCK! Cisco, the guy I did it with, is ticked that they are requiring a CDL. I know of one guy that may be tough competition IF he put in for it; but I know he applied for trail crew so maybe he's just not into haz tree anymore?? Here's my potential job description:
"At least 70% of your time will be spent completing a variety of projects in the areas of forest health and insect management. You will be responsible for implementation of field programs for hazard trees, forest insect and disease, and for coordination of logistics for project completion. The position requires consolidated and detailed reports of daily field activities when insecticides are applied, when implementing pest control strategies, and coordinating hazard tree control actions including the marking of trees for monitoring purposes. You will assist the Natural Resource Specialist and Fire Management Officer with planning and coordination of park-wide forest health field projects; develop and implement project work plans; coordinate with other divisions and agencies to obtain necessary assistance; obtain necessary supplies; design, coordinate, and conduct trainings. The other 30% of your time will be spent in motor vehicle equipment operation, fire management activities, buck and rail maintenance, and snow play boardwalk maintenance."
PICK ME! PICK ME!
Oh, and there is a photography contest going on up here, for photos of Estes Park or Rocky Mountain National Park. I can have up to 5 entries. Please look at these photos and let me know which ones you like the most. The worst part? I'm competing against my Timmy - and he's really freaking good. Trust me. If you remember any photos that I didn't put on here but you really really liked from Rocky Mountain, let me know!
