The Indian in the Rock


 All summer long I had been hearing about the Indian in the rock but was frustrated with never being able to spot it myself.  Several times the location was described to me by other rangers but I still could not locate it.  They even showed me pictures of it so I would know what I was looking for, but to no avail.

Finally, one of the seasonal rangers graciously offered to hike with me to the spot, thanks Carole.  It took weeks before our schedules meshed in such a way that we could take that hike but it did finally happen.  Cyndee and I were just days away from finishing up at the monument.  I was getting this done just under the wire.

Our hike took us to the exact spot that I had come to before as described to me.  So at least my orienteering skills were sufficient, but my observational skills were lacking.  I was in the right spot but I couldn't see the face.  That is until Carole stood me the middle of the trail and pointed straight ahead and up a little.  Boom! There it was.  Plain as day.  Sheesh.

Mission accomplished, now we are good to end our summer at Devils Tower.

 After a long winter in Death Valley National Park, California we have arrived at our summer gig, Devils Tower National Monument, Wyoming.  What a contrast.  Being at almost 200 feet below sea level and temps above the century mark to over 4,000 feet above sea level and night time temps just barely above freezing.  All in a matter of days.  It's the first week of May and once again we are the 'newbies' and on a steep learning curve to get up to speed on everything Devils Tower and Northeast Wyoming. Most of our training is on-the-job.  We are shadowing our Interpretive Ranger Supervisor for a week and most of that time is in the Visitor Center.  Head-count coming through the door is ranging from two to three hundred per day.  As we hit peak visitor season, July, we'll be counting 1,100+ during our four hour information desk time.  Plus, we'll be "swearing in" about 10 Junior Rangers an hour.  The other half of our day is spent outside, m...

Driving School and Good Eats

Its a good day to learn to back a trailer.  Windy as usual, but a nice day. And for all of Cyndee's buddies back at the pre-school who just can't imagine Cyndee driving a truck with a trailer, well, check this out: But you say; "Aw, she is just sitting in the truck yard.  Anybody can get their picture taken with it in park."  Okay, then, how about a video of her showing off her new backing skills.  Below is a video of backing the trailer in a straight line.  It is hard to see her in the shadow of the cab but she is doing this skill using the side-mirrors only, not looking back over her shoulder. I have a video but Google is hosed up and won't load it.  I'll keep trying for a few days.  Check back later. 5 days later:  Okay, I give up.  Google just will not cooperate and let me have access to the page where I am supposed to "agree to terms & conditions".   After a hard days training at truck driving my folks took...

Spring in Death Valley, End of the Visitor Season and Our Job

Image
  Spring has sprung in Death Valley, such as it is.  We leapt from high 70's and low 80's to 105 degrees in less than a week, and it has stayed there.  And to add insult to injury the wind has been howling.  It's been blowing so much and so hard that a 30mph day is the new norm for a calm day.  My satellite dish is rated for up to 50mph wind.  It's been stowed more than it has been deployed for the last month. Despite repeatedly warning campers that their awnings and canopies were at risk, we have ended up with dozens of shredded canvases and bent awning arms and canopy legs piled up in front of our dumpsters.  Many tents have simply disappeared into the desert.  I'm sure there are salt cedars and mesquite trees with a variety of colored nylon in them somewhere, but with a geographic area the size of Connecticut it won't be soon seen. Absent this spring is a bloom.  There has been virtually no moisture in a year.  Normally a cloud burst ...
