Challenging, Creative Work

There are so many good stories shared in the BLM, often funny and familiar, about the work we do and the people we get to call "coworkers".  Ask many employees and they will say the work is rewarding and challenging; and sometimes great fun! 

In one farewell email, an employee of almost thirty years described his best day on the job.

"Several years ago, my father - almost ninety years old then - spent two days on the job with me. It was the summer season, which meant that I, among other things, manned boats of fisherman and familes alike down local rivers.

One morning, before daybreak, my father and I met a group of three fisherman for a half-day tour. This was a serious group, quiet and focused...

So there we were, about an hour or so in, when my father leaned over- smiling - and whispered, 'They actually pay you to do this?'"
