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!

Big Creek - 6/24

Last night I was surprised to find that my tent had acquired a moat.  Water was leaking in from the bottom of my shelter so I unzipped the fly to tuck the tarp in further only to find that I was transported to the open seas.  With how heavy it was raining it was kind of like something out of Deadliest Catch with me trying to correct the riggings of my tent.  Anyways, I did a pretty good job; there was some water that managed to seep through the bottom but with how crazy that storm was I’m very fortunate it wasn’t more.

Our service today was… service.  Having been on a number of spraying operations I was able to problem solve and help the team move forward a couple of times.  Nothing out of the ordinary to report on the highway other than the Knapweed has bloomed, which makes it a little easier to spot.  It is kind of pretty actually…pity.


Since returning we’ve headed down to the river and are enjoying a moment of Zen.  I’m going to go take a little dip to refresh myself.  Later!
