I got a call while I was in Gainesville telling me that the person who was supposed to close the park tonight would not be able to make it in because of the weather. I got home right around closing time and checked the park. The day-long rain had brought some of our familiar puddles back. I hope that they will recede before tomorrow. I left a note for my coworkers, made a phone call and headed out with the umbrella to make sure that the faucets were dripping and ready for the freeze tonight. They were! I'm just not sure that I am ready for another freeze.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a Park Ranger? This blog will give you a small taste of the responsibilities, the exciting moments, and the awesome views experienced in the park from my perspective. Look back to the archives for a 365 day account of when I was a Park Ranger who promoted to an Assistant Park Manager. Now that the 365 project is complete, I will not post daily, but I will be back to share some exciting moments with you from time to time.

Cold Rain
Today was my second day off. I went to Gainesville to run some errands. It rained all day. We looked at the forecast on my fiance's phone this morning and aside from the usual green and yellow blobs on the satellite, there were also pink blobs. The pink blobs were headed our way too. We wondered what the pink blobs where, we looked at the key and found that pink meant snow. Snow in Florida. Snow in Florida when I have to be outside all day tomorrow. Oh, I need to move further south.
