We have done our 2 week orientation and have started our schedule working 32 hours a week. We have both been training so we have each worked 32 hours (actually more with research of our programs) but now we should be cutting back on hours. Our last training field trip was to Dripping Springs, the newest drive and hike opened to the public in the monument. It is open by permit (5 at a time issued) and the road is very narrow and rutted. We were glad we were driven in a park vehicle, not our little scion. We have started driving (John talking) the Ajo Mtn 21 mile loop and John has done an evening program once and I have done my watercolor 2 hour demo once. We must go to civilization tomorrow for food and things. So we are settled and starting our commitment for the next 2 1/2 months. This is a wonderful place to be. And we feel "the most dangerous park in the nation" is safe and beautiful. Please do not listen to what you hear and read!
