NCC

my contract for the summer with ncc, nevada conservation corps, is over and here is a visual recap of some of it. i dont have any pics from the first two weeks when we had to deal with waking up to and working in snow on multiple occasions. i dont have any pics of me with a tool in my hand either, no proof never happened. the job was enjoyable. i loved that i was getting paid to live outta my tent and sleep on the ground. i made friends with most of my co-workers. i saw parts of nevada that i would probably never have gotten around to seeing. i got sick, TWICE! figure that out. i lost most of my running fitness but gained a stronger grip and back in the process. i saw mountain goats. took baths in snow melt. ate shitty gas station food more than i ever have, up til now that was a never. broke in a pair of carharts. built a trail that is smooth and now more accessible for mountain bikers.best of all i spent the summer predominantly outdoors and learned some stuff in the process all while in the name of volunteering.
