Vernal Visit

This week the Rocky Mountain (RM) Interns visited the Rocky Mountain River Base in Vernal, Utah.  It was a great opportunity to get out of the office and help out the base manager, Phil Henderson, and the new rations manager, Pam Rosal with various chores.  We were able to help out sorting and organizing rations and re-rations for the numerous Spring Semester in the Rockies courses, sort and organize rafting gear, unwrap and stack new Liquid Logic kayaks, and take a tour of the grounds.  Right now the base is in the beginning stages of several new building projects.  Phil’s envisions staff housing, a new bathroom facility, and storage expansion.  While, the River Base seemed quiet at during this point of the year, it is gearing up for the busy spring and summer seasons.
