The Continuing Catalina Chronicles

Here's the next bit. Yeah, I'm a lazy liar who can't type stuff up when he says he will. But, in my defense, the wifi is down again. And no more news on the shooting. There is just this sketchy hookah bar that most people figure is a front for some eastern-european mob, and that's where the shooting was. Not surprising really.

Catalina: day 1
Today was much less eventful than our travel day. I made some oatmeal for bfast, and then we stacked wood all day. It looks like we may be stacking a lot of wood. Two years ago there was a massive (4000 acre ish) fire on Catalina, and all the wood that was cut down as fire prevention/cleanup got stacked in one huge pile at our campsite. It turns out that fire codes don’t allow the wood to be neatly stacked in one MASSIVE pile, so we have to separate it into individual cords. There is upwards of 50 cords of wood in this pile, I’m sure. And, ironically, the last AmeriCorps group that was on Catalina? Yeah, they stacked the wood into one massive pile. We’re just redoing their work. AHH
But stacking wood is weird. It makes me miss home, and especially Jacko. We stack wood better than anyone. If throwing and stacking wood was an Olympic event, we would easily net bronze.
Last night was cool because we all went to sleep essentially the moment it got dark. Which is to say 7 o’clock.

More...soon?
I'll talk about the boys and girls club soon too, that's where we're working now. It's a pretty cushy post. Can you say industrial dishwasher and access to their food supply? I can.
