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!

Ava - 4/1

We were planning on doing a burn today but the weather didn’t cooperate.  So Reggie, our contact, sent us over to prepare the North Fork Campground for visitation in Mark Twain National Forest.  I’d say the area is 90% complete as there are still a couple of flagged trees that need to come down, but that is maybe another hour’s work—tops.  Afterwards, as we were all decked out in our Nomex, we visited the 5 cent ice cream store.  There are 12 flavors to choose from and they let you mix.  I went with the chocolate brownie fudge, but I got my eye on the mint chocolate chip and cookie dough for next time.  The fudge was delicious, in case you were wondering.


While we were indulging in our Taco Tuesday feast I told my team I hid candy throughout our sleeping quarters.  Their response was “what kind of candy?”  As I listed the treats I got some nods of approval for the multi-flavored jelly beans, but what really got their attention was the Reese Pieces.  Still, after a hard day’s work they didn’t seem thrilled about going on an Easter Egg hunt.  Ah well, looks like they may be finding random eggs in the days to come!  Good night friends.
