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!

Sheepshead Recreational Area - 7/23

Last night I awoke to the walls of my tent closing in on me.  The wind was blowing furiously—so much so that moments after I opened my eyes there was a loud SNAP.  Another followed accompanied by a continuous flapping sound.  Rather than soldiering through a storm without my rainfly I headed into the cabin and found that Liana had beat me to it.  Great minds think alike!

It was an exciting experience, but the interruption to my sleep left me zoning for much of the day.  We went and cleaned up a campsite by Delmoe Lake then traveled to Sheepshead Trail and fixed up a past nemesis of mine: barb wire fencing.  We didn’t think to bring a chainsaw so we ended up man-handling some fallen trees off the fence and off the trail.  Tomorrow we most likely will be sent back to finish the job.  We’ll see!


On our way back to Fleecer we saw a rainbow touch down in one of the pastures.  Now we’re listening to it storm and are waiting to see if it picks up into the severe storm the meteorologist was predicting.  Me thinks the rainbow may have been a warning.  Anyways, all is well here and I hope the same is true for you all back home.  Later!
