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!

Elk Zone - 5/28

Highways D, M, and 106 are now complete and we are 3 miles into B.  Will, our Team Leader, had set a goal for us to reach Ellington this week and we accomplished that when we finished 106.  Now to see whether or not we can meet his second challenge and reach 15 miles…I think we are around 10 right now so the weather will be the determining factor.  All week there has been a 50% chance of thunderstorms and tomorrow the likelihood is supposed to increase.  I’m interested to see what job they have in store for us if we are rained out… guess it will be a surprise!


I am feeling fatigued.  One of my teammates has been feeling similarly so I’m hoping we aren’t coming down with anything.  Before I depart, I just thought I would share with you the 2 speed limits around Ellington: 23 and 29.  Speed traps I’m sure… but really!?  A cop must be pretty desperate if he or she is giving a ticket for going 1 over.  Silly.  Good night all!  I can’t believe it is almost June already.
