...and so I must follow where they lead.
Beginning on May 21, 2007, your 4th in command (oh good lord I sound like such a subordinate : will be enjoying the pristine skies of one of the best places in the USA (as far as I'm concerned lol): Montana. I've recently been accepted into the Montana Conservation Corps. For those of you who have grandparents who lived through the Depression, you might have heard them mention about an organization called the Civilian Conservation Corps or the "CCC". Young men who wanted to make money for their families were sent to the country's emerging national parks. It's there that they helped to build trails and otherwise aid in making the parks what they are today. That's similiar to what I'll be doing, except I'll be in and around Yellowstone Park!!
I'll be there from May 15 (?) thru November 2 (?) doing a lot of camping, hiking, and sweating. lol I've never been on a plane before, and it looks like I'll be experiencing not only my first bout of jet-lag, but also a layover. God help the pilot who leaves me stranded in Colorado!!!
With all that said, I'm really going to miss you guys. I'll still be an admin here, but I have no clue as to how often I'll actually get to come on. Last year at my internship in Pennsylvania, I was given a free room, transportation, and a laptop to use. This year, I must pay for all of that. I'll be in an apartment without a computer. So who can say when I'll encounter a computer in the backcountry of Bozeman, MT? ;D
If there is a will, there is a way for this stubborn Jersey Elf. You will see me again. Believe me, it's not that easy to get rid of me!!!! #bighug_smilie#
