So Much Garbage!

I haven't posted in a while...we've been pretty busy at the park! This weekend we had two groups. Cub Scouts stayed in our main group use area, and the Nevada Painted Horse Club stayed in our equestrian area. We also had a busy campground and some day use!

Yesterday I took out three truckloads of garbage (and got covered in "garbage juice")! One load from each group use area, and one from the campground! I'm hoping to be able to walk around today picking up litter and start cleaning sites again. They look really good when the tables and grills are cleaned, and the site is raked out.

I've been taking over the morning rounds and cleaning campsites because our Park Tech is out sick with a neurological condition (painful), and our Park Aid is painting a residence. One Park Aid is in med school so he only works one day a week right now--since school started. Three of our Park Aids are already gone for the season! This summer went by too fast...

Today I thought I was helping with a field trip just outside of Carson City, but it turns out that field trip is scheduled for October and not September! That will free up a lot of time and I can get some campsites cleaned. I'll also be able to get ready for my program at Dayton on Saturday. I was wondering how I was going to do that with two days of field trips coming up this week!

My next post will have some pictures, but I didn't have a lot of time this morning. I'm trying to work 10 hour days now, so in the morning, I'll have an hour to work on interpretation before everyone gets there. Soon there will only be two of us anyway, but it might work out better. It's worth a try!
