La Jara Canyon

by Joshua Mondragon

These two weeks went by really quickly! My birthday was on the third. My crew was really nice and made my day go by great. I am really appreciative of them. This is one of the first weeks we had good weather. We were all able to cut with each other and be swampers with everyone on the crew. We learned a lot about "leave no trace" which I think is really important. I think everyone in the world should start doing the leave no trace. The environment would be way better. We got to go for wood to bring down for Ancianos. I used to think it was hard going for wood when I would go just with a friend, so now that we do it with the crew it makes it a whole new experience. Jamie came up to jive us training on Wilderness First Aid and that was awesome and is something we had to learn because we are out in the backcountry. Thanks Jamie!
