So, I have learned more this week, than in a year's worth of college. We learned our show in three days, then spent this past week in a forest setting attending several workshops on all the complicated logistics of the job. I will be able to do anything after this experience. It's gonna be crazy! Here, I've seen my first bear in the wild.. a little black bear, perfect observation for my character Baloo the Bear in THE JUNGLE BOOK.
One morning, I took a 7 or 8 mile run/walk up a cross country trail in the mountains. We weren't intending to go that far, but after an hour on the trail, we realized we had no clue what the mileage of the trail was (and my friend Maryann had to be back to camp in 45 min!)... could have been one mile or twelve more miles. So we pretty much ran the whole way down the mountain, dodging a family of deer and managed not to run into the bear.... Just kidding Mom! It's truly GORGEOUS out here. It will be tough to leave the mountains an the raging rivers after only a week and a half. North Dakota and more importantly FARGO, here I come!
Several teams left today, so last night we all stayed up late, partying in the lodge. It's an odd feeling to meet so many awesome people, and then wish them good luck, goodbye, and see you in August! Today, my partner, Jamie, and I are routing our trip. Looks like we'll be able to check out Mt. Rushmore and Rocky Mountain National Park during our week off over 4th of July.
So, our first town has a population of 80 people. I'm psyched!
FIND OF THE WEEK: Moose Drool, local beer of Missoula, MT. (dark amber, smoky taste) the label is hilarious, keeping it for my scrapbook-- by Blue Sky Brewing
