Day 5 - Wednesday
Wednesday's quotes:
"Today we found out that we couldn’t work where we had worked this entire week. So we had to get our lunches after breakfast this morning and left to the new trail that we would be working on today. We came home on the bus and I got some hard sleep. After that we got back in time to write this and then eat supper. "
"Today we had to walk a long way to the trail we were working on since we couldn’t work on the trail we had been working on. We had a long way to go and we got a nice ride I a school bus."
"Today, we were informed very early that we were not going to be able to work at our same work site that we had this entire week. So, today after breakfast, we got on the bus, and took a one and a half hour trip to a new worksite. The worksite was very hard to get to in some places, but we finally got there, and we worked our tails off all day long. The only thing bad about my day was not getting seconds on dessert. I had to take an obscenely large poopey and I felt twenty pounds lighter afterwards. It was GOOD."
"This morning, we were told that we were not working on our usual trail. It was a two hour drive. We worked a lot for several hours. Supper was good, we had pie for dessert. The end."
"This morning, I was awakened by our crew leader. He was smacking two metal poles together. It awoke me instantaneously. After eating breakfast I rode on the bus to the new trail location. After hiking in for a long time, we finally reached our destination and started to work. We then hiked out and went back to camp. We reached camp late and didn’t get to swim. "
"Today we were awakened by our crew leader, Jimmy. Then we went to breakfast. It was good. Then we got on the bus to go to the new trail location. We took a van up there, then we hiked the rest. We worked till lunch and then we went back to work. At about 3:30, we headed back to the vans to take us to the bus. It was an exciting ride. I slept all the way. It was refreshing."
"Today, we got a new assignment. We were sent to site K to build a mountain bike trail. We also ran into a big boulder, which I dug out with my bear hands. It weighed about 500 pounds. "
"Today we hiked into work. We had a long bus ride back to camp. It took us a long time before we got to take a shower."
"Today, we went to the new site on the mountain. It was a long drive and walk up to the worksite. We worked for a long time with a hard trail. After we finished we walked back out and drove back to camp. Finally we had some down time to relax."
"Today we had a long hike into the trail we had to work on. Once we got on the trail we built about 300 yards of trail. Toby our leader was very pleased with our hard work. But the bad thing about today was that we had to travel a hour and a half away from camp. But I got about 3 more hours of sleep. We did not get to go swimming though and that sucks."
"Got to work with our guys again today. Hiked in ½ mile to shuttle point,2 miles on shuttle then 1 ½ mile to trail work site. Everyone worked hard, had fun and got done about ¼ mile of trail."
