Trek 2
After my hike in day(the day i leave the crew) I picked up another crew and did not get a day off. My next crew's trek number was 616B1. They were from gainsville florida and were a pretty interesting group. The advisors were either engineers or professors at the university of florida. We went to south country and got dropped off at zastrow turn around. We hiked to rayado river camp. At rayado I taught them everything. In the afternoon we hiked over to abreau to get some rootbeer in an old cantina. It tasted really good. I sat up on the porch of one of the old cabins and talked to some other staff members and crews. We headed back and made dinner. Clean up was soooo easy because they cooked everything in turkey bags. That night we went to bed before nine and woke up the next morning around 5:30. We had a tough hike over urraca mesa to urracaa camp. It took about eight hours. The trail was really steep and some of the crew was struggling. We eventually made it though and set up camp. We cooked dinner then the advisors and i went over to advisors coffee. Later that night we had a campfire. The staff members of urraca put on a littler show of music and story telling. Urraca is apparently haunted. The show ghost hunters has actually been out here to try and film a show. We went to bed after i did wilderness pledge and woke up around 6 today. I left them after breakfest and ran down urraca with my pack to try and catch a bus at lovers leap turn around. I got it just as it was coming in and got a ride back to base. I got back to base around nine. I took a shower and headed to taos with some guys. We spent most the day there then headed back and got some dinner at base. After dinner I played ultimate at the villa then did some tye dying with shirts. I pick up another crew tomorow from sioux. Im still waiting to get a day off, but i am still having a great time. Hiking great out here and being a ranger is soo much fun. Im really looking forward to the rest of the summer!
