Day 4 - Tuesday

Tuesday's quotes:

"Ail and got half way done. Thankfully our crew leader, Jimmy, let us go at 3:00. Afterwards we went swimming and had a lot of recreation time."

"Today we got up and ate some breakfast. Afterwards we got our tools and went to work on the trail and almost got it done. But the reward for the hard days work we got to go to the lake swimming. Then we ate supper and talked then went to bed."

"Today we woke up and it was very cold. We finished our trail today. We went swimming; it was even colder than yesterday. The end."

"Today we woke up at about 6 o’clock. We had pancakes and sausage, it was very good. After that we got started on our trail where we left off the day before. It started off slow, but after lunch we got re-motivated and got it finished. We plan to do maintenance on the small trails that lead into the trail we made. "

"Today we woke up and it was freezing. After dressing accordingly, I went and ate a small breakfast consisting of sausage and pancakes. After filling my belly, we went to work on our trail. Then ate a small lunch, and went back to work. Coming back early from work, I packed for the recreation activities. I came back from the recreation activities, ate supper, and went to bed. "

"Today we got up at 6 o’clock and ate breakfast at 6:30. After that we had a tool talk. We began trail building for the second day. We learned how to make water run-offs and water bars. We had lunch after four hours of work. Then we went back to building our trail and finished it. Hopefully tomorrow we will stay at the same place. "

"Today we woke up at 6:00. It was really cold. Then we went to breakfast. It was a small breakfast of three pancakes and two sausages. Then we went to finish our trails. After four hours of working we went to eat bag lunch. Then we went back to the trail. We finished our trail. It equals 5/8 of a mile. We finished at three. Then we went swimming and to take showers. Then came back to camp. "

"Today, we ate breakfast and started working on our unfinished path. We worked several hours finishing up the trail. The finished product was a great site to see for us tired workers. Afterwards, we went swimming and took showers."

"Today we went out to finish our trails. We worked very hard, and very fast. Afterwards, we went swimming. "

"We got a lot done today. After we went swimming I had a lot of fun."

"What an extremely eventful day. After trying for two and a half hours last night to download to no success, I left out to go to the ranger station in hot springs. No luck there either. So off I go to the local high school where there is a wi-fi café across the street. While trying to pay attention to where I was going, I passed a state trooper, and of course I was speeding. The things we go through for the boys. After a stop at the café it was off back to camp just in time for lunch. I finally got to work with our boys on trail work today. It was worth all the headaches, frazzled nerves, and frustration just to be able to spend time with our boys."
