Arrival Day @ Voyageurs Natl Park

tour boat dock

Thus begins our 9-week experiment as volunteers in a national park.  We arrived today, given our "uniforms" and radio, and taken to our spot in the woods.  I anticipated being in a 30-amp FHU electrical site next to a maintenance building.  Instead we got a 50-amp site (one of two) out in the woods by ourselves.  Donna picked the larger, nicer one of the two sites.  We've
found that if we park the truck in the second site and park it toward the back a little, no one sees us from the main road.  Oh, and we're now an official "Authorized Vehicle"!  Anyway, we start training on Tuesday.

The visitor's center is just beautiful.  While the outside gives you that "Up North" look, the interior reminds you of the interior of a log house.


Lots to see & do here.  Most of it requires getting on a boat.  As volunteers, we can do that on the tour boats as standbys.  We plan to do that as much as possible!

Later, David
