Hello to all! I am on my off days and I have lots of time to blog and not much to blog about. Haha. Yesterday I spent the whole day in Jackson walking in all the stores and shops and being a tourists. There are some very neat stores with lots of nice things, and I also saw some restaurants that looked promising. That would be a fun place to visit again when I have more visitors. I have been trying to find something Huckleberry that I could try, folks around here say its better than blueberry. I told them that those are strong words and that I will be the judge of that. I finally caved and bought some huckleberry ice cream, being that it was a hot summer day I thought it was appropriate. It was very good, but the results were inconclusive and I will have to conduct further research. I also went to the store and loaded up on grub. My main goals for my time off are to eat as much as possible to try to prepare for my next backcountry trip. I have 5 days off, then I work for 4, then go back off for 5 more! That is crazy. I am going to ask my boss if I can just keep workin and save those off days for when I have folks coming. I dont need that much time off, especially here by myself. I want to work as much as possible unless I have visitors. I dont think that is a unrealistic request. Knowing my luck I have all these days off now and then when Mal and my bros come I will be workin the entire time.
Upon the completion of this internship, I will be attending a NPS Law Enforcement Academy. So while in Jackson I made some calls and did some research at the library to find out which academy will be the best fit. My perfectly laid out plan had me attending the one in NC, however all the classes are full and there is a long waiting list, so I am now researching other options. Most of the programs last between 9-12 weeks, and I am planning on starting in January. I am going to talk with my bosses and the head guy here and see if they have any advice or know anything/anyone at any of the academies.
I will post again soon, hopefully with some exciting news and some good pics. I plan on going hikin tomorrow to what is suppose to be a large waterfall, so i'll let you know how it goes.
BYE

Glad you received our care package. We'll send another one soon. We will miss you on the Edisto trip this year. Capt. Steve was very impressed with your proposal. He said to let you know that you've graduated now.

Keep in mind that doing nothing is the best thing for you right now as you are working yourself to death every other day. I believe you deserve the relaxation. You've still got a lot of working days ahead of you. Take care of your self. I love you! - Your fiance
Jordan, shoot me an email as a reminder, and I'll ask Duane what the best route is to get into an LE job with the park service. I know ther's a school down in glynco GA (FLETC).
