Oh I'm Sorry I'm Sorry I'm Sorry!
I've been horrible and I havn't written for awhile but Here I am now, ready to update ya'll on my whereabouts.
Well I arrived safe and sound ( and in one piece) in Washington. The drive up was gorgeous. We were constantly driving up into the mountains and then into some deep foggy valley, just beautiful. We finally made it into the Seattle area, after two days of driving and then took the ferry from the mainland over to Vashon Island. It was breathtaking seeing the island arise out of the mist. The Island itself is tiny. One main road. a lot of back roads, and even more horses. Its pretty cool because the island population consists of rich old hippies so the island is covered with strange art, knickknack stores and coffee shops.
Camp Sealth itself is about 2o minutes away from town and then another 10 minutes down a long winding pot-hole ridden drive to the Camp. The camp is huge! 65 cabins, some heated some without windows or doors and all of them in some array of disrepair. There are about 5 or 6 staff living on camp with us and they are all AWESOME. So nice. All of them are a little rustic a little goofy but they have just been sooo welcoming!
The work we have been doing is pretty routine. We're using the chainsaws to clear ten to fifteen feet of defensible space (no shrubs, no trees, no fire) around all the cabins, the trees we cut down we are splitting for firewood (which is AWESOME!).
We've been going into Seattle every weekend, which is also pretty nice...
Alright I know this hasn't been a very descriptive message but I am exhausted. I will write soon.
