Volunteers here in the park do a lot of different things. This week we worked in the fee boot at the park entry on both Friday and on Sunday and on Saturday we did the park closing. Today I spent the afternoon working on a carpentry project to finish the construction of a porch at one of the employee houses here. Most of the work had been done prior to our arrival, but this afternoon I put the finishing touches on for them. I have always enjoyed carpentry projects so it was an enjoyable afternoon. Pam took the day off to let her ankle that had surgery last spring have a rest.

The ankle is making progress, but it has been slow and long days on her feet tend to mean a day of rest from the soreness.
