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!

Gilbert Trail - 7/29

Those 30 trees from yesterday?  Yeahhh, there were actually over 50 obscuring the path.  Combine the miscalculation with the encroaching vegetation and we got ourselves a 13 hour work day.  You know, despite the sheer exhaustion I am currently entertaining the notion of working 3 13 hour shifts a week and having the other 4 days off.  This is for after the program, of course, as I am averaging 60 hours a week here in Montana and there is no indication that the days will shorten.  Ah well; see the need, meet the need—it’s how we roll!  Awesome views and great people make it all worthwhile.

We did manage to finish Gilbert Trail with a little extra effort.  That trail has been on the Corps to do list since we arrived in Montana so I’m glad we can finally check that off.  Our team would have finished a little sooner but I caught a thunderstorm trying to creep up on us so we had to seek shelter in the woods for a time.  I consider myself to have poorer hearing than most, but I somehow am always the first to notice thunder.  Weird. 


Anyways, I’m going to go crash.  Good night friends.
