    Congratulations on being a host! You have our support and encouragement. I hosted last year and it was marvelous. The concessionaire and district rangers were great to work for and made it a breeze for me. Your smile says it all.

    If you are commuting to and from Rifle and Meeker or Meeker to Craig on 13 be aware lots of deer and elk on road. Also ranchers move herds of cattle and sheep on 13. They want you to keep moving at a crawl to get thru it. If you stop it confuses the animals. Lived there for 6 years in the 90s

Over all it was a great experience and we enjoyed our time doing that. We met some great folks in the vast majority. Once in a while a grumpy unhappy camper comes along and there is little you can do to help them. Keep up the great attitude you have and let it roll off. You are providing a great service for little pay. Enjoy your summer and experiences. You are a good guy.
