To start things off....

I figure it's best if I start this blog off the right way. This summer, I was accepted a position working for Xanterra Resorts in Yellowstone National Park. Xanterra has been contracted out by the National Park Service (NPS) to run the lodges, food services, horseback riding stables, and other services throughout different parks.
From May 15 until August 20, I shall be working for Xanterra and living at Old Faithful. I will be working Kitchen Crew at Old Faithful Lodge as well as hopefully volunteering with the NPS. As a Parks and Recreation major, I feel it'll be such a good opportunity to work closely with the NPS as someday I would really like to work for them.
Throughout the summer, I'm going to be updating this as much as possible. I will have some limited computer access while I am living at Yellowstone, so I will probably try to update this at least twice a week.
For now, I am going to be spending the next 2 weeks until I leave getting all of my gear in order and making sure that I have everything I need. That's pretty much about it for now, so keep checking back for more later!
