It is amazing to me how my internship flew by! It's been an awesome summer getting to know the park and being able to participate in some of the events at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park (LEWI). It doesn't seem like too long ago...
Estas dos semanas que han pasado fue unos de los mas cansado días de mi trabajo. Como consejera de campamento para Lewis and Clark National Historical Park (LEWI) tenia que dar todo mi atención a los niños en entretenerlos, cuidarlos, y remar con ellos en...
My weekend had gone by in a flash! Usually during the weekend I go out for a bike ride and go explore different towns, but after Nature Adventure Camp I was unbelievably tired. Before I knew it I had to start preparing for Nature Survival...
Back in my hometown, I dedicated my professional work to being a mentor to the youth of my community. I tended to gravitate to organizations that involved interacting with middle school kids, high school students, and incoming college freshmen during the school year. I loved...
As quickly as the two weeks of training had flown by, the following week went no slower. I had to prepare for my first guided tour walk of the season! I remembered how hard it was last summer in Idaho to learn about the landscape...
I don't think there's one way to describe what I do at Lewis & Clark National Historical Park - Fort Clatsop (LEWI) without being too vague. I applied to be in the Interpretation Division as an Interpretive intern, which means that I am the person...
I hope so. In this 100 year old room, I sluggishly sit up at 6 a.m. and with my crusty eyes I look outside my window to see the sun shining brightly on the cargo ships passing through the Columbia River. For a minute,...
Piensa lo que piensen. Pero para mi, estaba muy emocionada a tener la oportunidad a viajar y vivir en otro estado por un trabajo en Astoria, Oregon. Ya tiene dos semanas que acepté la posición de guardabosque en Lewis & Clark National Historical Park...
"Los mejores trabajos se encuentran aquí en California. ¿Por qué te quieres ir tan lejos? Because. Unlike most of the success stories my father hears from his trucker friends about their kids, I didn't turn out to be a star child. So, no estaba tan contento...
I remember the days leading up to my departure to Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve. My mom would be looking over my shoulder as I pack my clothes nervously thinking about all the horrids things that could possibly go wrong on the...
This is officially week 9 of 10 of working here at Craters of the Moon and this is one of the last few posts that I have left to write. The experience has been superb and exceeded my expectations more than what I ever imagined...
Los Parques Nacionales es conocido por todo el mundo como "La mejor idea de los Estados Unidos." En el mes que ha trabajado aquí en Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve veo como la "mejor idea" falta en respeto de la diversidad. En...
What’s the best thing about being an Interpretive Park Ranger? For me it is being able to get to know and share information with visitors who came across Craters of the Moon looking to know more. The majority of the times visitors come to CRMO...
As the sun is rising over the black mountains that surrounds Craters of the Moon I am being bombarded every morning with loud chimes and vibrations from my phone. It's a little difficult to get use to the work schedule I have. There are days that...
For the first time in a long time I feel content with where I am at. There are no words to describe how I feel right now, but it is the same feeling as when you look into the sky after the storm and somehow...
There are so many aspects of Craters of the Moon that make it unique in comparison to anything else in the country. There have been many people who have passed by here and saw nothing but a black, desolate landscape. However, there have been people...
As I look over the horizon in daily guided tours, I am always amazed at how beautifully painted the rural plains of Idaho are. It has officially been almost a month that I moved here and was greeted by one of the many hundreds of critters...
It has been 10 days since I have arrived at Craters of the Moon. Every morning I sheepishly wake up at 6:00am sharp from my bed and think “is this real?” From the blaring streets of Pacoima to the calm and rugged landscape of...
I was raised in the outskirts of the Los Angeles county in a little town within the San Fernando Valley named Pacoima. This little town has much history, and it has gone through some hardships, however this Barrio continues to strive and continue to envelope the...
