A Little Knowledge With Many Opportunities

We are now official volunteers for the National Parks And Recreation Department. After our 3 hour Orientation and a bite of lunch, the new kids on the block got busy and went out armed with our shovels, trash claws and trusty golf cart to make our Bayside Campground ready for the weekend influx of visitors. We’ve been warned to enjoy these first two weeks while it’s quiet. On the 15th, reservation taking will begin and traffic in the part will grow exponentially each month until October.

We met with our Oceanside Campground counterparts; Tom and Reenie and Mike and Cindi who have been campground hosting for a number of years. They seem like a fun loving bunch of people. Mike was a warden at a Correctional Facility. He had Carl should have a lot to chat about.

While out in the golf cart, which has a whopping top speed of about 8 mph, we happen to get a chance to photograph a male Cardinal while feeding in a small grove of softwood trees. There are breeding pairs flitting all over the place and before we leave, I hope to have a salable photo but for now the photo posted will have to do for all those red bird lovers.
