This week I am helping out the South Eastern Missouri Department
of Conservation. Normally this would
entail staying at Baptist Camp and working around the Cape Girardeau area—but
not anymore! Now we are the AmeriCorps
strike team; we are those guys you see along the highway performing maintenance
in those neon yellow vests. Unlike the
majority of said workers, we get to drive UTVs!
Driving on or near the highway is exhilarating, especially when you are
going against traffic. With no
windshield you get a new appreciation for how fast we drive on a day to day
basis. Anyhow, we are staying at the
Creole House which used to be a Bed and Breakfast. The pool is no longer functional but there is
a hot tub I am thinking about taking advantage of next week!
The only
downside is that SE MDC is currently down a UTV so those not operating one have
to go about backpack spraying. Hopefully
the other will be fixed soon so we can perform at optimum efficiency! Until such a time, we shall get a nice work
out with those packs. I think I need to
go as all that driving yesterday has left me drained. Good night all!
