Hi All,
The fire smoke got worse before it got better. Here we can barely see the mountains.
Last Tuesday we attended the park's volunteer appreciation dinner. At the dinner we both received the Presidents Lifetime Achievement Award for 4,000 volunteer service hours each.
Unfortunately, that same day, we were notified that Fort Caroline in Jacksonville rescinded their commitment to have us return. Long story, too convoluted for an email. We scrambled for a week looking for a different volunteer position in Florida.
Today we were invited to volunteer at the Barberville Pioneer Settlement. It is a private non profit living history facility near Deland, FL. (www.pioneersettlement.org) We had visited last winter and were impressed with the facility and the programs. It was a great relief to have a volunteer position and we are excited about spending the winter there.
Meanwhile, here in Grand Teton the skies have cleared and the mountainsides are as beautiful as ever.
Unfortunately, due perhaps to the hot dry weather, wildlife has been scarce. Some days the biggest mammal we see is a chipmunk!
Love,
Sandy & Carl
