Greetings

Welcome to my little corner of the inter-webs! I just wanted to take this space to warn you that my posts will rarely be up to date. Due to the spontaneity of natural disasters and the unpredictability of when AmeriCorps' services will be requested I will be digitizing my journal entries whenever we return to St. Louis. Oh, and most of the pictures you see here were taken by myself. If ever I do use someone else's material I make a point to give them due credit though! That said, come, leave comments and be merry! I hope you enjoy your stay!

Roaring Rivers - 12/2

Roaring Rivers, Missouri, team yellow: new destination, new team.  Today marks the start of my first 10 day project for AmeriCorps.  From what I’ve gathered this doesn’t necessarily mean that our task will be more intense, the extended time is due to the location where we will be serving.  These projects are lengthened because they typically take a day to reach and depart.  Anyhow, today was pretty much a day of travel.  When we arrived we met our contact, Tim, who showed us where we will start the following day.  They termed the area Glade 10.  It looks like we will be doing a lot of limbing, bucking, and burn piles during our stay.


Our lodging and the state park we are staying in are beautiful.  The only downside is that it appears there is no cell phone service where we are sleeping.  I feel bad as I texted Haley right before we hit the dead zone.  Sorry Haley!  I will have to see if I can sneak in some time to call while we are out on project.  But yes, clear rivers, walls and slabs of giant stone spread throughout the greenery; I would love nothing more than to just climb around the varying landscapes.  Maybe I will get my chance.  For now though it is time for bed.  Good night all.  Talk to you tomorrow.
