Chapter 2

Well, my team and I have been back in Vintonfor about a week now. It has been pretty good. There was the three days of transition, which I don't remember much of, but it went well. Oak 1's second project is a split project. For the month of May we are working with the Vinton parks and rec department. It is mostly clean up. There will be a couple different times when we will be planting trees. So far, the only bad thing is the weather. As interesting as Iowa might be, if its always this humid, I won't want to live here. Thursday and Friday were so hot because of the humidity. I wad really tired so many different times this morning, the afternoon wasn't that much better. I hope the humidity will go away soon. I was sad leaving the forest. I did get some poison ivy, but only in two or three places, and i didn't really break out in it, just a couple red bumps. So that was way better than some of my other team members. Ticks were the other major problem. I think only three actually bit me, otherwise any ticks I found were crawling on me. I really enjoyed sleeping in the tents and staying in the middle of the forest. I will miss kyaking too. I really enjoyed that. And it is wonderful to do if you want to go in the lake, but not get totally drenched. I am looking forward to owning one in my future. Well, all done for now. Until next time!!!!
