So I have arrived and am getting settled into my apartment. Today I went to Rapid City for supplies and just to check out how the roads were into town, those kinds of things. Did little things to get ready to report tomorrow morning when I am officially on schedule. The weather cleared up really nicely today, had that prairie breeze. The temperature is actually pretty cool compared to what we were having in Virginia so I stopped and picked up a little jacket. (Yes, I left my personal jacket at home.) So sleeping under the beautiful quilt my wonderful daughter made for me last year that is based on the Badlands and just waking up to the birds. It is so quiet, I had forgotten how quiet and peaceful. I am amazed at how green it is! The grass is lush and everywhere. The sky so blue it looks fake. Once I get time adjusted I will stay up and check out the stars, right now my body says it is two hours later and there is no way. 
I am looking forward to following my dear friend Mary's Blog this year. Mary is the one who got me involved with the TRT program by giving me the information. This year Mary will be doing the TRT thing at Shenandoah National Park. If you are interested in checking out her site as well I will link it to mine. I know she will have some awesome things to share. For Ranger Mary check out http://teacherrangermary.blogspot.com/
Congratulations Mary!
