What kinda sorta rare job have you done for a living ?

Interesting. Is your department different than the one who handles trails for off-road vehicles? I went with a buddy to go see the Colorado AMA Motocross National back in 08? and had the privilege to rent dirt bikes and ride all day in Rampart Range, one of the most beautiful places I think I’ve ever been.

We don't do any motorized trails. I volunteer a bit in my off time to help maintain some of the local ones though. The OHV trails really do get you into some incredible places.
