Del Valle Park Gate Assistance

This assignment is located at the park gate at Del Valle. You will assist the ranger at the kisok in processing queue of cars entering the park. This is necessary because a large number of boats enter the park at the same time the runners arrive. Because the rangers must inspect each boat entering, this bogs down line for runners. Volunteers with this duty will work under the ranger’s direction to keep things moving smoothly.
