I moved all my stuff back home then headed for Durango Colorado. This is my home for the next 2+ months at least. I love my job... I love the people I work with. I love working outdoors and I love doing something that I feel really matter..... even at the small level at which I am doing it at. Last hitch I just got back from we worked on a city park in phoenix that is by far the biggest city park i have ever seen in my life. Only second to the city park we stayed in which is the largest city park in the world.
Tomorrow I go skiing at Purgatory and start my next hitch on sun. which will be in norwood colorado. There we will be working on fence removal and making the land free and more open space. Last hitch was a combo of trail blazing and trail fortification for the monsoon season in late summer. I specifically worked on conserving two soaguro cactus that probably had a combined age of 170 years old and a tree that were being compromised by trail erosion.
I like working with like minded people and have learned so much about issues around the area such as environment and boarder issues. All I know is that this is a big stepping stone in my life and I look forward to continuing my work well after this job.
So to all.. have a good night... and remember to hug a tree....b/c there are futile to our existence here on earth.
