A month and a half into our AmeriCorps term, Crew 11 is working efficiently and steadily towards our summer goals. We have finally reached the bottom of La Junta Trail at Wild Rivers! Awesome, right?! We continue moving rocks and clearing the trail to help hikers navigate a little easier. Looking back on the beginning of the program, we have improved significantly in our communication and teamwork. We're even having more enjoyable conversations with the hikers using the trail than we were at the beginning of the program. We are now a well-oiled machine who also has fun at work!
I'd like to share a couple of stories, one of which is frustrating, another which is hilarious. The crew was all really disappointed the day after we did some cement work on the trail when we found a vandalized inscription, "OSU 2011" etched into the fresh cement. It was really not cool, considering how hard we work! On a lighter notes, one of our fellow crewmembers, Micaela, learned an important lesson when she left her lunch out one afternoon and found that a squirrel actually chewed THROUGH her bag and stole all of her candy!
We continue to grow as a crew and as individuals and continue to make an impact on our community and the environment. One good word that sums up our experience so far: BOOYAH!
