I'm planning a guided hike this Sunday--four miles round-trip. The Public Information Officer got in touch with a reporter who wanted to do a "preview" of the hike. Our volunteer and I had already been planning to walk the trail and talk about what we were going to do, so we invited the reporter and photographer to come with us and it ended up being a really fun day!
Unfortunately the day they showed up the power was out in the whole park so touring Buckland Station didn't really work out...but the rest of the hike was fine because we were outside the whole time. We hiked from the museum to Buckland Station, where my office is. The power was out so the alarms were going off and I couldn't make them stop completely. The reporter wanted to plug in his phone to charge it but he couldn't do that, and the beeping alarm made it so he couldn't have done any recordings anyway.. Neither the reporter or photographer had brought water, but thankfully I had a couple small bottles in the fridge in my office. They wanted to hurry back so they could charge their equipment to get voice-over recordings for their footage so we took a short cut back.
We ended up sitting in the reporter's truck so the phone could charge and we could get the recordings, which worked out pretty well--it was quiet at least! He called me tonight to say the article was finished and I could look at the video link. I think it turned out really well, and you would never know we had technical difficulties that day!
