Alright, so this is my first blog EVER. If nothing else, at the end of it all I'll have a great journal of what I've been up to from January-August 2011. So for starters, I'll tell you about the job. I've just accepted a position as a trail crew leader for the Wyoming Conservation Corps. The program is housed at the University of Wyoming in Laramie and aims to provide crews for state conservation projects while helping Wyoming's young people gain natural resource management experience through service of wyoming's land. Beginning in January I will set sail via my 2003 saturn vue for Laramie. From January until early May my comittment to the program will involve taking a 2 credt 'conservation leadership' course with the 15 other crew leaders at the university. In that time we learn history, undergo training, and most importantly, hire our crews for the summer season. When school gets out in May, we begin our projects across the state working 10 days on and 4 days off until mid August when the season finishes. It sounds simple, but I'm sure there will be so much more to it than that.
For the next month, I'll be working like a maniac to save up money and get ready for the big move. I guess it's a good thing that I already know my life fits quite easily in my car...
