Built and cut trail. Lived out of a tent for 6 months 18 miles from the nearest road. Became fast friends with 12 incredible people. Sheltered a very distressed girl scout troop from some very inclement weather. Learned dry stone masonry. Learned which end of a mule not to stand next to. Learned how to persevere and find joy in harsh conditions, and the proper way to urinate into a Gatorade bottle.
Watched over the rooftop pool. Managed the chlorine levels in the pool until I accidentally turned the pool green. Gradually earned the respect of a very ornery parrot.
