Summer at Seal Rock, volunteering with US Fish and Wildlife.

We have just one week left here at Seal Rock, we have been giving Tide-pool talks and talking about the birds and marine life, volunteering for the Oregon Islands Coastal Refuge USFWS.  We have stayed at South Beach State Park by the maintenance shop and given a program each month for the State Park.  But we have had hitch itch for the past month.  Will have the month of September off, so planning on going to Crater Lake for a while.  We will be at Heceta Head Light House during October.
