Yours truly.  Comers Rock Campground, Virginia - Fall 2017

My six months as a citizen ranger and campground host in the Jefferson National Forest has now ended.  I solo-camped from late April to late October at the Comers Rock campground on the Wythe/Grayson County border in SW Virginia.  One of the most amazing adventures of my life.

A great, lazy Sunday.  Rain is coming in torrents for the whole week.

I have been camping for almost 12 weeks in the Jefferson National Forest in SW Virginia as a volunteer ranger and campground host at Hale Lake and Comers Rock.  No Wifi to update here, so I've been out of the loop.  Met dozens on wonderful campers and their kids and pets.  On August 12th I will be halfway through my tenure in the forest.  Looking for another volunteer gig for the winter.  Thoughts?

Find your voice.  All people are basically good at heart.  Move your heart to action, please.  Be the one Samaritan in your community and bring along a thousand others.
