2016 Permits and Park Rounds

Today I finally decided to tackle the boxes of 2016 permits sitting on the shop table. I checked what we got against what we ordered and they all matched. Then I bundled them up and put the permits in the safe and the fee envelopes in the cupboard. I know, not very exciting, but productive!

We have day use passes that are good for Washoe Lake only, day use passes that are good for all Nevada State Parks, senior passes, and disabled veteran passes. We also have yearly boating passes, but those haven't been very popular since the big lake went dry!

Another not-so-exciting part of the day was vacuuming the office. Our office cat, Jack, decided to use the plants instead of going outside...so...I cleaned up after him! He's a good cat, just lazy. I can't post pictures to this blog from my phone, so I'll post about Jack later.

I also did rounds. I started in the campground, cleaning restrooms, scrubbing down the shower, emptying garbage, and then moved onto the equestrian areas and day use areas. Outside the main part of the park on the south side, we have two more day use areas with restrooms and garbage cans, a picnic area on the west side of the lake, and two locations on the north side. By the time I finished at Little Washoe (where the ice hockey was happening), it was after 4 pm and I still had to get back to the office to empty garbage and check mesages. I also sent out another couple group use reservation forms. I have a feeling the rest of this winter will go by way too fast!

Jack decided to help unpack boxes today.
