Today
almost felt like it wasn’t meant to be. We encountered set back after set
back, starting with a missing key and escalating to our tools barely
working. There was a malfunctioning gate, a couple of turn arounds, and
some untimely communication bits thrown
into the mix as well. But! Even with the delays we were able to
tackle the biggest part of our project: crafting and setting up a bill board at
the entrance to the Molton Trails. From what I hear the last one was used
for target practice so we had to angle this one away from the end of a long
road to discourage the shooting range mentality. Let me tell you, this
sign isn’t coming down any time soon.
On our way home
the moon acted as the end of a curtain. To the left of the moon was the
rest of the curtain, the night sky, which was slowly being drawn across the
sun’s fading light. I feel like this was Montana’s way of saying that
this chapter of our ERT story is coming to a close. Due to our
nation’s government thing most of us are being called back to St. Louis to prepare
for future projects. Tomorrow is our last day of service this area.
After that I think we will get a day to ourselves before starting the long
journey home.
I don’t know
what I am going to do with my free time yet, but I know I want to spend it with
as many AmeriCorps members as I can. They all have such fascinating
stories. One of them hitch hiked for months across the US and Canada,
another gave me some insight to the Mormon life style and traditions. I
definitely want to get to know everyone better as I’m afraid I become somewhat
of a recluse when I know I have to work or am working. I will let you all
know how things go, but for not I’m going to depart. You all stay classy.
The first photo was my doing. The second two were taken by Danielle Wess.
