If you haven't already, take a look at the updated map of our work sites in Hardwick, VT (follow the link from the last post). Since the DEC sent in their project proposal some time ago, many things have changed and since I have made a couple visits out to our site, I have updated the maps. But enough of that...
Today is the last full day of Pre-Program Week and tomorrow at 3:00PM marks when all the techniques we have learned will pay off as our Corps Members all arrive to begin their 7 weeks of leadership development, group dynamics assessment, and technical skills application. After running around the barn all week like chickens with our heads cut off, we finally get to settle down with our Corps Members and...run around like chickens with our heads cut off -- but with 8 younger kids that don't know what they're doing.
Time again to resort to jotting down my notes from the field in my notebook and leave the luxury of a computer for the weekends. Hopefully you'll hear from me next week, but it may not be for a little while and suddenly a pile of posts will appear backdated probably as far back as tomorrow.
Until then, enjoy "civilization."
Best of luck as you launch your weeks ahead with your new crew, Jay. You seem well-prepared.
