After meandering our way from Oklahoma, we arrived in the "Valley" on December 2. Storing our rig, we spent the first two weeks of December time-sharing in Florida at Deerfield Beach and Sarasota. We moved into our winter home at Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge on December 22 and started our volunteer jobs just before we drove our little car back to Austin to spend Christmas with family. Then after taking a cruise the first part of January, we have now settled back into a routine.
Our current job is working for the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge as Refuge Operation Specialists. Our job is to help monitor over 100 remote refuge tracts for illegal poaching, ATV use, dumping of trash and other violations. We inspect boundaries, replacing signage, locks and gates and addressing repair needs to aid in the protection of important wildlife habitat. We plan to be here until the end of April.
