Dear Reader,
The work week ended yesterday and today, Rec Rangers are leading YCC crews on an overnight backpacking trip (more details on that in the next post). Meanwhile, let's focus on the past work week and get a view into crews' various work projects.
Alpha Crew
Alpha crew's week started at the Norris geyser basin where hot springs, geysers, and fumaroles reminded them of the thinness of crust barrier underneath between them and the asthenosphere's molten rock. However, this very proximity yields the otherworldly thermal features that Alpha Crew diligently recorded on camera:
Work otherwise consisted of bear boxes at the Canyon campground:
Alpha crew also worked on other projects, such as VUM, but visitors received their undivided attention and as such, their camera was afforded none.
Bravo Crew
Bravo focused on the Canyon area and worked on trail signs as well as visitor use management:
In terms of animals so far, bison and bears have probably taken the spotlight a number of times throughout this blog. Bravo crew features a new spotlight: the horse. Location: Canyon Horse Corrals:
Charlie Crew
Charlie crew worked on bear boxes for the entire week at Bridge Bay (Yellowstone Lake). They've provided Your Narrator with few photos of bear boxes, though. Instead, check out their rec activities below:
Next up: an overnight backpacking trip!
Regards,
Your Narrator
