8 weeks, 10 hrs from home, with 18 other 17-year olds, working in the bush...an AMAZING experience!!! oh, ranger camp, place of many memorable moments, hehe.
On the way to the camp, there was this punkish looking girl sitting diagonal to me, (kind of scared of her) figured she was a ranger too, since we were the only ones that got off at Thessalon after 10 hours of bussing. "hey, uh, are you a ranger?" "uhm, yea, are you??" "YEA, at McCreight's?!" "YEAA!!!!" "YEA!!" *low five and a hug*
well, plenty of WHMIS, tool, Safety& Harassment, first aid, etc etc trainings, ALL WEEK LONG. they actually had a classroom set up!! more education days to come every friday, but those were more interactive. work = clipping trees and trails, mostly. there was a 4 day canoe trip where we just cleared portages. our supervisor drove for over 2 hours looking for the trail that led to the lake, and when we found it we discovered that gigantuous vans and canoe-racked trailers really CAN climb trees!!! hence, on the way back 8 of us dragged the trailer halfway through the trail....
more to come later it's late and my gramma's yelling at me to leave!!! hehehe.....
