I may not be coming back from this 10 day. The place we will be staying at in Current
River State Park was described as a mansion.
Since when has there been a mansion where there wasn’t something
sinister involved!? Umbrella’s mansion
unleashed the zombies via the T-virus, Shinra mansion unraveled Sephiroth’s
remaining sanity that, in turn, brought about cataclysmic events… Tragedy oft befalls the characters who
interact with these structures, but we are not mere characters, we are
AmeriCorps—a group that specializes in getting things done! You know what, I take back what I said
earlier; I will be coming home, it is just a matter as to what manner I will be
returning. Triumphantly is the hope!
It may seem like misfortune has fallen upon me and the rest of the
crew, but that is only due to a lack of internet connection and cell phone
reception. Our project site and HQ are
dead zones so we are more or less cut off from the rest of the outside
world. Not to worry though, the place we
are staying at is amazing. We all have
our own bedrooms, bathrooms, and enough lounging space that would leave most
fraternities envious. Combined with an
awesome crew and superb views, I feel like I am on vacation more so than out
serving our country.
We are here on a
mission, however. Our team, team yellow,
has been tasked with ridding the Current River State Park of Red Cedars. This requires traversing and cutting on
significant inclines, which is a safety hazard, sure, but I’d take a dry glade
with fluctuating temperatures over a wet and cold glade like my last project
any day. I didn’t personally do any
cutting today, but I swamped and helped find a bar nut that came off of a
chainsaw. The wielder of said chainsaw
was confident that the search was hopeless due to all of the fallen foliage,
but I have this knack for finding things… unless I’m the one who loses
them. Think I would be Seeker material
in the magical world of Harry Potter?
