Humbug Mountain State Park
Today was officially our day off but we still ended up putting in almost 6 hours of preparation between putting together a schedule of programs for the next two weeks and practicing our first program we will present tomorrow.
The program is supposed to run approximately 45 minutes.  This time includes the actual presentation of the topic, Q and A session, making a craft and, at the completion, time to stamp JR Ranger activity and passbooks.  If a child has completed all the requirements for a level they will be presented with that levels reward.   The award levels are: 1st-JR Ranger badge and the secret hand sign.  2nd-Special pencil and decal and 3rd-cloth patch and certificate. 
When we timed our presentation it only took us ten minutes.  I guess we are going to have to talk a lot s-l-o-w-e-r.
We will be presenting 5 programs a week.  Week 1 and week 2 have different programs each day so that means we have to learn 10 different programs.  At the end of week 2 we can repeat week 1 programs.
A funny thing happened.  There is not enough room at our site for my car so I parked it at the Ranger Station where there is ample parking.  When we stopped by the car to get something out of the trunk we noticed there was an envelope on the windshield.  It was for an extra vehicle payment of $5day. 
The ranger who had put it on the car didn’t realize it was my car.  We all got a big laugh out of it.
