Project Inspire Final

even though it happened about 3 months ago, it still sticks with me, and often when i feel like my world is too cluttered, i think of the views i got to experience there. so, here's to the last days of project inspire. 

on our last day, we worked on another trail. we hauled larger rocks, that would later be crushed and covered with smaller rocks and dirt in order to make the path, 'cause apparently, these trails don't just show up. it was hard work but it was fun. i carried rocks, dug up and carried dirt, and i filled water bottles in a stream colder than any tap  water i've ever had. and now, the picture show.

i loved doing this. i met fantastic people and figured out that i have much more physical strength than i thought i did. it also did wonders for my self-esteem, emotional health, and general sanity. i recommend spending time in nature; it prepared me for the adventures that came in chicago, which will be blogged about shortly.
