EMC/MDC/LNC SUPER MEGA THREAD 2

let's do a reoccurring chat thread pubbers. These seem good for our modern shroomery experience.
How you kids doing today?
Got any plans before the end of summer?
I have mostly small stuff I intend to do when I have the time. Kayaking the lake at the state park I'm working at. Mountain hike when it cools down a bit. And I really want to go to the beach and enjoy the salt air for a few days.

I've never done whitewater kayaking. Seems scary. Closest I've done is... kayaking in the bay when there's a hurricane off the coast.

I'm curious too.
I'm working in this heat wave in 2 shirts and tear resistant dickies. All I can think about is how nice it would be to be out on the water.
But I agree the best time for beaching is late summer/early fall depending on the beach. Global warming is stretching the season quite a bit ime.

I had shrimp for dinner too. Grilled up and put on a sandwich. Mac n cheese for the side. I'm happy with it but I have way too much shrimp.

Yeah I just don't like shrimp that much lol
I got 2lbs and only ate about 1. I like shrimp but I can't feast on it. Not unless it was deep fried but I don't do much deep fried foods anymore.
In unrelated news I do not have rabies. What a fucking relief.

I can't comment on any of that. I've been EC my whole life too but I'd like to spend some time up north too. Preferably Canada. I think I'd like to experience one real winter in my life.
Hope y'all have an awesome weekend

I seem to only tan by being burned. No matter how much tan I already have.
I normally don't bother with sunscreen though. If I feel myself getting burned I'll shade up.
I am intrigued by your sun lotion though.
I love being in the park. I feel good most of the time. Much stronger and fitter than I've probably ever been. I come home filthy and tired but almost always in a good way.
Today I saw a doe with 2 fawns, a fluffy white tailed bunny rabbit, had a hawk circling me, and some cool white furred caterpillars.
Hbu?

That's chill. Primitive camping on the sand or some car camping inland?
Both sound good. I'm still super deep into my beach craving.

Yeah I don't think RV parking with hookups is camping. You're just installing a portable house.
But I totally get getting old and am glad you guys are still enjoying your beach.

Yeah I think that's called wind surfing. I'm always super impressed by it. I think I would enjoy it more than the motored versions.
I saw a kid with his mom learning to bike the other day. It was the cutest freaking thing.

Happy belated birthday dude 
Nothing like picking strings. I picked up my bass alot since I quit my job last year. It just feels right.
I'm having a chill morning. I finally found my keys after days of searching and am now relaxing with a cup of coffee and watching the birds. Haven't decided if I'm going to hike or work on my trees. Transplant season is coming up.
I believe the park intends to keep me through the winter. I have an interview in a few weeks for a supervisor position. So we'll see if I can actually afford to stay. Regardless it's been a great experience and I've learned alot.

Why'd they do that?
I got accepted into a career development program in the state parks so I'm living in a park that was a former plantation for the summer. Part of the agreement was that it must continue to run as a farm so I'm living next to the moo cows. Met my roommate the other day. He seems like a cool young fellow.
Been trimming the 200+ year old cedars this week and got trained to drive the tractor.

^ being an insurance specialist crunching away in an office feels like a lifetime ago even though it's only been 2 years and that was the majority of my adult life.
I've accepted that I'm the kinda person that needs to try a bunch of things even if I'm gonna fuck up half of them. I've learned so much, fuck ups or not, met so many great people, and had many wonderful experiences.
I was appreciating how much the eagles have recovered yesterday as I passed a nest and got very close to a beautiful male sitting on a fence post.
I go to another park for canoe and kayak training next week which includes rescue procedures and that'll be interesting...
Next year I'll move to another park and I may or may not do a 3rd year but the idea is to find a permanent position after 2 or 3 years of training. I haven't really thought that far tbh but they're trying to make me think about it. They seem very open to trying to help me get into a federal department if that's what I want. Maybe.
I read you are hanging up the hat on the rail hopping toastman? How are you settling?

I'm happy for you man. Especially on the sobriety. I bet you've met all kinds of characters. I'm so sorry for the ones you've lost.
I'm still in training and I'm only in state parks. I may decide to go federal. I haven't decided yet.
Water training will involve my first rescue training beyond first aid and trauma response.
Yes the stairs in the woods are nonsense creepypasta... Probably... You have to understand most of these parks are in remote areas around country folk. Full staircases get dumped or were apart of private property that got absorbed by the park or in many cases they're a part of semipermanent tree stands for hunters.
I've found staircases in the woods. I've climbed up them. Nothing weird happened. Aside from some creaks in the wood that suggested I probably shouldn't be climbing on them for practical reasons.
The park I worked at before this was just a stones throw from a city and i-95. Completely different vibes from my current remote farming park. I like them both for very different reasons.
I think regardless of which conservation and recreation job I choose I'll not be content to stay in any one place for too long. There's so much to see and experience.
Edit: oh and while I've loosely been involved in missing persons calls. almost every single one was fine and needed no assistance from us. I did recover a stolen firearm that was thought to have been used in one or more crimes though. Idk what happened after that but I'll tell you that did feel eerie.

Is that why it was quiet over here for the first time in days?
I'm not far from the naval base and I see those massive cargo choppers all the time. They beat the shit out of the air.
