So yesterday, I told y'all about the beginning of my journey. Well, it's now the middle of February and I've had quite a few adventures since I've been out here, although most have been where I live in Moab.
After my first 3 week shift, I moved into a trailer (not as red-neck as it seems - it's a HUGE trailer) with a co-worker and his roommate. I've spent Thanksgiving and Christmas in the field working, but before I left for my Christmas shift, my roommate, his friends and myself went on an adventure...
We drove up a mountain...
...Cut down a Christmas tree for my roommate's mom....
...And I came to the realization that Utah snows!
I went back to the field for Christmas and New Years and it was pretty awesome. We brought out hamburger meat (meals usually consist of some kind of beans or noodles) and everyone made burgers for Christmas. And we got stockings! My next off-shift, the weather started getting good enough to go out hiking and exploring around where I live, so I was really glad to get a chance to do that!
We went up and down some slickrock...
...and got some nice views...
(those are my boots and the city of Moab below)
...Including the Colorado River
Right now I'm at the office where I work, getting ready to go in for another 3 week shift in the desert tomorrow. Hopefully, this blog will continue to stay alive and allow me to post some more of my adventures as they come along. I don't have a camera right now, so there probably won't be a post as soon as I get out, but I'm getting another camera ASAP and an ottorbox, because the desert keeps breaking my cameras!
So until then, don't miss me and go have some adventures!! Life wasn't meant to sit around and play Xbox and World of Warcraft all day (although it is nice sometimes, I'll admit), so go get some sunshine!!
