Yesterday we took a break and drove over on to the Fish & Game lands next to the park to watch the wild lands fire fighters training with some helecopter water drop pilots. One of the officers of the crew is a regular at the park and had invited us to stop in. It was really neat as two of the leaders of the program came over and explained what was happening as well as providing a radio so that we could listen to the conversations between the fire leader and the incoming helicopter. That was a great break in a day spent mostly mowing grass and preparing the park for the weekend visitors.

Today the area is very cold, cloudy and windy and so our work has been pretty limited. We do now have five occupied sites with one more reserved for a today arrival. We did a little work in the shop and greeted the visitors, but mostly are keeping warm. The temperature is topped out for the day with 51° at 3 pm and the wind has been a pretty steady 15 mph with gusts to 29. I sure hope summer gets here on June 22nd as promised!
