On our way back from South Dakota, we returned to AGFO for two reasons. First, we had to pick up the RV, which we had left there when we went to the conference. We also had a few loose ends to complete for projects. We wrapped up those in a few hours and finally hit the road for Scottsbluff, where we spent one last night.
Tim and I have worked on many projects in national park units all over the country, but this time at AGFO has been one of my favorites. Completing the redo of the Archives Room was extremely satisfying and one that spoke to my organizational skills.
Tim and I have also worked with lots of volunteer coordinators at these various parks, and Tera Lynn certainly ranks as one of the best. She always had a smile on her face, and she has the most positive attitude of anyone I’ve ever met. Tera Lynn went out of her way to enable us to successfully complete our projects. She was also a lot of fun to be around!

We also loved working with the rest of the staff at AGFO, and everyone was so helpful to us. Because it’s such a small park, we got to know everyone, from administration to interpretation to maintenance staff members. There is such a strong sense of community here, and we were lucky to become a part of it.

Last Sunday, Tera Lynn hosted a potluck to say “goodbye” and “thank you” to both the departing seasonal staff and the volunteers. What a nice evening! The park even presented Tim and me with volunteer “swag,” including a huge NPS umbrella, an arrowhead cutting board, and an NPS mug. Thanks everyone! It’s been great spending the last few months with you!
