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!

Poplar Bluffs - 6/2

Today is a day of firsts.  The first of the firsts is my whole team is composed of first years.  The second is that this is my first time camping out in the tents on a project.  Third, we’re camping out in a new area—Poplar Bluffs.  Huh,  first is a weird word after you use it a bunch… it just looks funny.

Anyways, for the next 2 weeks I will be putting the chemicals aside and participating in an assortment of projects requiring hand and power tools.  It sounds like we will be fixing up various trails so it will be a nice change of pace!

Phew, it’s hot.  I believe this tent is 20 degrees hotter than the outside which is plenty warm.  Speaking of tents, it took me forever to figure out how to put this one together.  There were no instructions and the strings holding the poles together had disintegrated, but still you think an Eagle Scout would have little difficulty with such things.  I guess this means I don’t go camping enough anymore.


Time to turn in!  Hope we don’t get rained on too much this week!  Later all.
