Josh’s Top 10 teachable newbie moments with my first days and week at Lost Canyon

1.) I learned thats is not as easy as one might think to board a moving golf cart and not run over your foot at the same time.
2.) Radiant heat in the garage is great. Especially for the cold mule deer who benefit from me leaving the garage door open to heat up the wild.
3.) Learning what it really means to be open and honest living on camp, mostly due to the lack of curtains in our new place.
4.) Survival training when you close up at an office with no lights anywhere and its freezing. (Where did I park? I guess we really do live in the forest..its really dark.)
5.) In the kitchen..we have true task masters that use both the whip of the kitchen and the whip of the task master. Its the Cliff and John show. True Renaissance men.
6.) I was excited that one of our staff was building themselves a new lake house, but at camp with many construction folks this was the ribing him for his recent build out of the pump house at the pond at camp.
7.) Another new exciting place to visit for me was to be the famed transfer station. Sounds like an exciting infrastructure place..right?!? Communications, a train shipping yard, or even an airport....blah its the dump.
8.) Experiencing a quality introduction moment with your new co-worker Joel from Alaska....what do you mean Joel is only visiting?!?
9.) Getting a whole new perspective on camp from Abby (I think she was 6) and her awesome picture of Lost Canyon (on display in the office so come visit)
10.) Everyone must stop by and see the amazing onion cutting device in the kitchen. Look mom I can cry without cutting off my fingers.

Umm...#4. Where did I park? You drive a golf cart right? And your can see your house from the office right?

:-)

Maybe you need one of those voice recorder key chains they sell on TV. "I parked my golf cart in front of the dining hall".

Awesome stuff...keep it up and thanks for sharing.
