Summer Job

This summer Kelsey landed a new summer job with the U.S. Forest Service as a wilderness ranger.

She started attending a few days of training's in May but didn't start full time until the second week of June.  She looks so cute in her new work digs....

The first physical day for her was hard and she came home and told us "well I found out I haven't worked a day in my life until today!".  To which we laughed and laughed.  After the first rough week she has found that the job perks are pretty good!  One of her job perks is driving this sweet ride from the office into the wilderness.

She has been on several overnight trips so far.  A few weeks ago she joined a group out near Bridgeport to get some axe and saw training.  This particular area they were training at was a trail that had been covered by fallen trees.  It started by looking like no trail:

But after 3 days of  training,

they had blazed a trail. 

This week her overnight adventure was rafting down the Carson River.  They stopped along the river to check a few fire permits and tear down some old fire rings.

They stopped for the night at this hot spring pool that is right on the river to relax from their hard days work and make camp.

You can tell by her face she is not hating this job.  She actually can't believe she is getting paid to do this.

I have to admit I am a bit jealous, I mean who wouldn't want this to be their office.....
