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!

Panther's Den - 8/6

Our conquest at Panther’s Den continues!  We switched from invasive removal to trail building with Kelly, our contact.  I really like her as her pace is nearly identical to my own.  Anyways, our trail looks top notch!  We have a long way to go, however, so it will be interesting to see how far we will get with the time allotted to us.

Missouri is hot!  Wait… we’re in Illinois, I keep doing that with Shawnee!  Illinois is just as hot!  I felt like I jumped into a pool—nay, a Jacuzzi—and then got back out to work.  I was able to wring the sweat out of my shirt…disgusting.  It sounds like there is a 70% chance of rain tomorrow so we are going to be soaked one way or another.  I’m curious as to how effectively a trail can be constructed during a downpour.  We shall see I guess!


Hmm, other than that, I made a reference to Lord of the Rings and only one of my teammates got it.  Granted it involved Shelob and her name isn’t really tossed around much, but still, I was shocked.  Bed time!  Catch you all later!
