So my second week has finished, and I've learned much about bureaucracy, which as many of you know . . .I love. Monday - Wednesday was district orientation, which means everyone from the entire district got together for many hours of boring lectures. It was interesting, though, to see everyone who works in the forest, because I don't run into them on a daily basis. There is the geologist, the wildlife biologists, the range people, the fire crew, the rec crew, etc. etc. The four of us in Heritage, aka, archaeology, are definetly the nerds of the bunch, but that is kind of fun :)
Some Highlights:
Watch out for meth labs in the forest. Apparently they are prevalent and can be identified by propane tanks and large amounts of prescription pain medication.
Watch out for "tweakers" wielding machine guns. I guess they are big in the archaeological site raiding business. They then sell artifacts at high prices...
So we may be the geeks of the crew, but crazed drug addicts aren't raiding the mountain bike trails or forest fires. So there.
PS. Don't worry, I don't think these things actually really happen. Forest employees favorite pastime is paranoia.
