Looking Back

So it's now August. What a summer it has been. My Wilderness Ranger job is coming to an end (I think). This should be my last week or at least full time week. I have applied for other jobs for the fall and winter semesters. I am really hoping to get the rec assistant job in Lehi.
I just moved again. I'm living in a house with 9 other girls. There are 5 girls in the basement including myself and 4 others upstairs. I am one of the younger ones downstairs, the only one younger than me is Joanna who is 24. A few of the girls are RM's and all of them seem to be pretty cool and layed back.

I have to say one of the most interesting experiences I have had this summer as a Wilderness Ranger was at Tibble Fork Resevoir. My partner Nate and I were driving up to Silver Lake Flat one Saturday morning and on our way we passed through Tibble Fork Parking lot where there happened to be several vehicles parked illegally. Needless to say we had a Sheriff and tow trucks up there. Before the vehicles were towed, the drivers came back and payed the tow truck man to release the vehicles. But before everything was done, there was several tears, almost a fight, threats being made, and alot of yelling done. It was one crazy situation.

Another day that is most memerable was just last Saturday. Timpooneke parking lot was crazy full and people parking everywhere and illegally. The parking lot was so bad it was difficult to get in and out of the lot. We were working with the Sheriff department again and tow trucks. After we had that situation dealt with we were on our way over to Aspen Grove and got stuck on the Alpine Loop because of a bicycle race. We waited it out, but before it was past us, there was a biker who biffed it hard on a turn just above us. We grabbed the first aid kits and drug the biker and his bike off the road. He suffered a broken nose and abrasions, but nothing too serious. The parking lot at Aspen Grove Timpanogas Trail Head was insane, but not as bad as Timpooneke. Moral of the story, if you want to hike Timpanogas, hike it on the weekdays and avoid it at all costs on the weekends.

I have to say that I could have never of made it through this summer with out prayer and without the help of Heavenly Father. There is no way I would have survied it. I am extremely greatful for Him, for his caring, and the miracles that happened because of him.

School is going to be starting soon again. I'm taking a full schedule and hoping that it isn't going to be a crazy semester.
