5/26/2010 Meeting Day

Today we had a meeting to attend with all the camp hosts and the Volunteer Coordinator, Emily. She answered any questions we had, handed out a schedule for the camp store and gave us our “uniforms”. We each were given 2 gray T-shirts, 2 gray sweatshirts and two tan polo shirts. Each shirt is embroidered with Delaware State Parks Volunteer Host and there is what looks like a holly tree leaf (our state tree) with a ladybug on it. (our state bug)

Bob’s didn’t fit him, well, they did but there was no wiggle room in them and who knows how they would fit after washing/drying so we’ll exchange them for the next size.

Our meeting took a little over an hour with information given out, the paperwork we all had to fill out and a few other time consuming tasks. In addition we checked the bathrooms to make sure they had paper and we were done for the day.

Bob fished in the afternoon and early evening and I walked over to see how he was doing. I ran into Ed again and we talked for a bit and the word came down the line that the big ones were hitting under the bridge and I knew that’s where Bob was or close to that area anyway. I bid Ed farewell and went in search of Bob.

There were quite a few fisherman out considering this is mid week and the park isn’t anywhere near full right now.

I found Bob but he wasn’t having any luck and I didn’t see any big ones being pulled in although Bob said he had seen a few.

The gnats were out in force and they were hungry so I didn’t last long out there.

Definitely a laid back day, wouldn’t you say?
