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!

Forest Park 12/18

We finished the trail!  Kinda!  We completed a route and after the fact we found out our contact intended for us to split the trail.  Still, I’m very happy that we have something to show for just a couple days’ work!  Now I have something to point out to folks when they or I visit St. Louis in the future.

Fascinating fact: Forest Park is spread over 1300 acres.  For those of you who have been following me since my beta blog days that were sent via emails, that is over 6 times as large as the park I used to live by—Tower Grove Park.  Josh gave us a nice tour after our work on the trail through the nature reserve areas and pointed out some of the popular spots along the way.  The Grand Basin made my favorite fountain spot over in Tower Grove look like a water sprinkler.  I hear it is also a great sledding spot so we may have to hit that up after our winter break.


Going to call it… sleepy.  Talk to you all soon!
