beezer is now officially the new park geologist at Mount Rainier National Park, WA. After working for so long at getting that elusive permanent job with the National Park Service, I DID IT!

I started on Monday… already its a challenging job but I love it. Been thrown into the middle of a pretty important project on the park’s NW side and there’s a ton of really exciting projects that will be taking place this summer. Already began hiring for some positions and if funding goes through, we should have a great staff of geologists working some important pressing park issues this summer. Yay! On Friday, when I was going home, I was rewarded with a spectacular view of the sunset on the mountain, complete with alpenglow.

Yosemite was a great place to work and I really, really enjoyed the people I worked with. I made some amazing memories and friendships with some of the rangers there that I hope to continue for a long, long time. But it was time for me to get “home” and be back in the Pacific Northwest. I truly love it here.

A lot of stuff has happened in my life in the last year — some good, some bad. But everything is working out and I’m glad where I’m at right now. I’m happy, despite some major things that have gone on recently, personally. I feel like things are finally making some sense and that this will be a great opportunity. Life is good!
