Back in RI after 6 months in northern California working on hiking trails! I worked with 5 other recent college grads through a group called the Student Conservation Assocation (www.thesca.org). They were, needless to say, an amazing bunch, coming from all over and with varied interests. We created many memories while out on the trail: long hikes, bread baking tips and pumpkin carving among them. And we covered lots of ground, working trails from up in the hills of Humboldt County to the deserts (and dumps) of the Carrizo Plain National Monument.
It is good to be back on the east coast and near friends and family. Though we ate well while out on the trails, and sleeping on the ground became the norm, it has been easy to settle in at home and visit local italian institutions (ie. Mike's Kitchen of Cranston). I must admit, good food and strong coffee were simple adjustments, but daily showers will take some time to get used to.
Those glasses are pretty sweet. You'll need them to keep bugs out of your eyes on the ride! I'll be happy to donate if you pledge to wear the glasses at least 20 miles day
