Hampshire Rocks!
I know I haven't even finished posting the photos from my last trip yet, but I couldn't resist going out and getting some more uncivilized hours logged in for this month. This month, I took our scout troop to Hampshire Rocks, a state park located next to The Rainbow Lodge near Lake Tahoe.
The main reason I selected this site was so that we could take a two and a half mile hike to Loch Leven Lakes, teaching the younger scouts about orienteering and map work along the way. Unfortunately, Kenny overheated just outside of the historic mining town of Auburn, which took me several hours to get diagnosed at the Chevy dealership, so one of the new dads lead the hike instead.
Despite this fact, the outing was tremendous amount of fun, and with just 4 scouts - all new boys about 11 years old- the atmosphere was condusive to getting to really know the people I was camping with. And Matt, if you can believe it, I even got offered a job :-p
I didn't get many photos of the actual locality, so I'll leave you with this last shot of the Yuba River behind our campsite:

It was more like a passing comment, since he owns a home repairs business and is always looking for help. I was just joking around with you when I mentioned it.
In more important news, I have not heard back from the coroner's office, or the toxicology lab in SF, so I am working under the hypothesis that my cover letters were somewhat lacking this time around...
Oh well, there's still more avenues to pursue.

Poor scout...the ol' bunny ears in the picture treatment.
It's hard to tell what an employer sees that either strikes his fancy or causes him to run the cover letter/resume through the shredder. I wouldn't worry too much. I've received my fair share of rejection letters already.
In other news, no word yet on the NM job possibility.
Hey, congrats on working with the scouts. I especially like the red T-shirts and Caps. Easier to keep track of the boys when in the woods.
I just recently spent a couple of days with my son at his week-long scout camp. It was fun, but we had a lot of rain too.
