Did you know that Yellowstone National Park was the first national park to open in the United States? Did you know that Yellowstone has over 67 species of just mammals? Well if you didn't know that or you don't know me, my name is Alex Hughes and I'm going to be your teacher/tour guide throughout this blog.
Now for a little bit about me, like I said my name is Alex and I'm from Murphy, North Carolina. I'm an upcoming sophomore at North Carolina State and majoring in Elementary Education with a focus in Science. I'm the middle child in my family. I have an older sister named Lindsay Hughes who also attended NC State for her undergrads and is now a grad student at Western Carolina University. I also have a younger brother named Hayden Hughes who attends Murphy Middle School and whose life is consumed with sports and athletic statistics. Both of my parents were raised in Murphy and both attended Appalachian State University. And just like my parents I love to travel, which is why I'm going to be moving to Yellowstone to work this summer.
As for my job I was offered a position through Delaware North Parks and Resorts, to work at Grant Village in Yellowstone National Park for the entire summer. Grant Village is located on Lake Yellowstone on the southern end of the park. I'll be working as a "food server associate" in the Grant Village General Store. I'll be there from June 14th to August 8th. I'm hoping to experience and see all that I can and keep you guys updated on my adventures in the mean time. Wish me good luck and feel free to contact me about any questions or just comments.
-Alex
