Stone stacks made by three youngsters who camped with their dad near me at Comers Rock Campground in the Jefferson National Forest/Mount Rogers National Recreation Area in August.

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?
