We've completed the first week of our first spike project, how cool, and needless to say I am literally in the middle of nowhere. Everything is minimally a half hour away, and it just strengthens the idea that I do not care for nature. Anyway project wise I do like our project, we're working on fixing up this unit of old CCC cabins to make them livable for future NCCC teams that come and work here.
On Monday we had orientation and took a tour of the park, it's quite large and actually an incredibly nice park. Tuesday was the first day of work where we met Paul our site supervisor. We started on cleaning out all the cabins so they would be good to work in, I ended up digging a hole in order to find certain pipes for water, etc. On Wednesday we had some basic wildland fire training, got some lovely smokey the bear paraphenilia. Thuesday involved ripping some walls down and getting the cabins prepped to put up new ceilings. On Friday we started putting up the plywood on the ceilings to get them set up, hence the end of our work week.
Everything here is at least 30 minutes away so we hit up some internet on Wednesday and Saturday, went to the mall on Friday to break out of the cabin fever, and are heading to walmart today.
This upcoming week should be good, more ceilings and roofs and all that fun stuff. On Wednesday they have us doing a high ropes course I'm pretty pumped about that. I'll hopefully be able to post pictures soon, until then!
