Lots
of packing today. We had to take inventory on every single item be it
parcel of food or power tool. My rusty Tetris skills were put to good
use. I increased the efficiency of a larger container by rearranging the
contents. We fit in 4 times the amount it would have taken at the
start. I was by no means the only contributor, but I feel proud of the
part I played.
About 5 hours later
we were done. Aside from our collection of trucks and a huge dark spot
where the Eurt once was the campsite looks practically like it did when we
arrived. Some people chose to go on a hike but I was feeling a bit
off. Home sickness. Elevation sickness. Who can say?
We’re supposed to be coming back at the end of our term of service so I will
capitalize on any missed adventures then.
Today I had a
different challenge in mind. Remember how we started the nightly movie
trend? Well, the VCR rewind option broke down on the second night.
So, after Dan, Whitney, and Lianna had a go at it, it was my turn. The
movie was Dances with Wolves. For those of you unfamiliar with the film,
it is over three hours long. Before I had my shot, my predecessors used a
dime to turn the cassette. I improved upon this method by putting another
dime in the other wheel and using two butter knives to turn the wheels
fluidly. Even so, it took an hour and a half to finish the project.
Challenge accepted, challenge completed.
Well, as this is
my last night here and just about everyone is back I’m going to go be
social. I will talk to you all soon. Three days tops!
