As you probably know if you are reading this blog, I volunteered with a conservation corps called ACE from September to December of 2010. I traveled the American Southwest, working in beautiful places like Lake Tahoe, California; Dixie National Forest, Utah; the southern rim of the Grand Canyon; and Coronado National Forest in southeastern Arizona. During this time, it was often very repetitive to relay my experiences to each relative, friend, and acquaintance individually. Since I will be returning to Flagstaff in six days, and will resume work in approximately twelve days, I have started this wonderful blog so that anyone interested in my life will be able to read about it at his or her leisure :)
I'll start by posting some pictures (in no specific order) that other volunteers took of projects I went on between September and December.
