Work at the Kremmling field office has been pretty slow the past few weeks since my last post, due to seasonal training. The seasonals and I had a week of training consisting of ATV, HazMat, Trailer towing, Radio use, and more. After that I went to Chicago for CLM training at the Chicago Botanic Garden.  Even though the training didn’t relate all that much to my specific job (Weed spraying) it was still useful information, and a good time. I met some good people and got in touch with a few people from the Lakewood district that said I could help out with some rare plant monitoring.

It is good to be back to work though, and we have a big week ahead of us. We will be spraying invasives at a burn site on Yarmony mountain and doing a campout on Thursday to make the most of our time. Once the water level goes down we will be floating the CO river with our raft sprayer and possibly camping again. I am really looking forward to getting some work done.
