Rose Parade/Rose Bowl - January 1st 2013

On Wednesday, January 1st, I got to work my 2nd official detail as an Explorer at the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl. My post was assigned to traffic duty, where we basically were each given a street to manage and keep traffic moving and allowing pedestrians to cross as they moved from the parade and to the game.

Rose Bowl before the game.

This is basically what I was doing for 5 hours. I quickly learned

that it is not a lot of fun, especially when dealing with

unruly fans and angry drivers.
