We left Mesa Verde National Park on Thursday, August 9th after a quick stop in the Far View Visitor Center to see Ranger Rich.  If you want to see this cool / 1960s visitor center, get there soon.  A new visitor center is being built right now and will open this fall.…

I was hired for a games attendant and was supposed to be kept out of the extreme heat and sun due to medical reasons; and was assigned jobs in the extreme heat; but kept out of the sun. After three work days was moved to rides operation because they didn't hire enough people of legal age. They also don't want ride operators to enforce the safety rules of the rides.
