Round 1

Well, today starts off the next 6 weeks or so. I will be leaving for Spike number one in the morning. I can't wait. We'll be sleeping in tents in the middle of the forest. It will be exciting. Today though me and my team stayed here at the Iowa Braille and Sight Saving school. We helped clear out muck from window wells, and picking up other peices of garbage on the grounds. It is 8:11 PM, central time, and i am finally getting to rest for the day. I don't think I will stay up reading tonight. Tomorow the team is headed to Davenpirt Iowa, for three days to help the staff there clear up invasive species. At the end of the week the team is headed for Jonesboro Illinois to help the Shawnee National Forest with trail restoration. We will be camping in Iowa, but I am looking forward to the work and time we'll be spending in the forest. Tonight was packing night. It took me three different times to pack the red bag, only to realize I forgot to put important stuff in it, like medicine and toothpaste. Well, my personal bag is stuffed. I hope I know how to do it better next time!!!!!
