What a treat to have met him. In fact, so much so that the wife and I drove back through the entire park at the end of our day to say thanks and he remembered our names and the things we had shared early in the say. What a great guy! He was helpful, super friendly, knowledgeable, and seemed very sincere. There was another young lady who was helping other folks who was also very friendly to them but we didn't hear much The store was VERY clean, the restrooms were clean (wife approved), and lots of good stuff. The park was well laid out, trails and warnings clearly indicated, and really just a great day.
