Where are you working/volunteering this summer?
Spring is almost here! Are you excited about your summer gig? Are going back to a favorite spot or going on to a new adventure? There are so many places to see, I'd love to hear about them all.

Just added Andersonville National Historic Site to our volunteer trail.
Obsession and addiction, what a way to go!
Just curious, but have you been to Point Lookout, MD? We found this place to be so steeped in civil war history and just a great place to volunteer. (Well, with the exception of the mosquitoes.)
While camp-hosting, there are lots and lots of opportunities to participate in the historical aspects of the park - from participating in the Fort Lincoln re-enactments, to the civil war museum, light house open houses, etc.
There are lots and lots of opportunities and they are always looking for camp-hosts. Each camping unit is required to put in 20 hours each week, which is usually done on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and not a lot of hard work.
We have only camp-hosted at Amistad NRA. We prefer visitor services, interp, etc.
MD has a number of interesting and historic locations that would be fun.
We have not been to Lookout Point. The NPS some locations we were previously considering. Now, alas, we are booked through Sept 2014.
Hope to head West next October. Calvary Forts and American Indian History is another area we are interested in pursuing for the future. There was Civil War activity out West also that we would like to visit.
Thanks for the information.
