Time Flies
So, my team and i have been camping for two weeks now. I am currently living in campers and tents. The week before, my team and I worked on clearing up the Shawnee National Forest in southern IL, from a tornado that hit the area a week before. Last week we stayed in the campers. Monday through Thursday we slept in tents in the middle of the wilderness part of the forest. It was fun sleeping in the tents. On the weekend when I'm in the camper, I go kyaking for PT. It's fun, I'm glad I learned.
Last Saturday the team went to St. Louis. I had a blast. Sandy and i went to the top the arch, took some good pictures, and headed back down. The Arch is taller than Space needle, and the stainless steel is like an inch and and a half thick, if that much. It was cool. After the team meeting, Sandy and i went to find a place to eat. The Culinaria was way coil. It is a market, a resteraunt, and a bar. I had so much fun, I got a burger, and a canoli for desert. Yum.
These last 5 days the team and i started clearing out brush to construct a new trail, which is what we want. We started building ground for the start of it. It's not a terrible experience, I just wish it were a little cooler. I'm learning how to all sorts of tools.
I think most all of us are still unused to the now showering thing for 5 days in a row. When we head back to the trailer for the weekend, that's all we think of. We don't really care about ticks or poison ivy anymore. We are living in a forest. Those two things are inevitable. So is mud, mud is covering the first half of our hike to where we camp in the woods.
What is crazy, is that there is like four weeks left of this round. That's really not a lot if time. It goes by so fast, but it feels like it has been such a long time. I feel like I've been living in the camper for longer than two weeks.
Time definitly flies by!!!
