Day 235 May 12

 Today was a busy day.  We started the morning by driving up to Woodland Park to give the people up there some soil and let them pick out seeds and plants.  On our way there, we stopped at the Donut Mill and got koloches.  When we were done at Valley View Point, we headed further up the mountain to Divide, where we went to Hybrook.  We built them 2 garden beds and filled them with soil.  The beds were much harder to put together than they should have been.  When we were done on the mountain, we headed back down and straight to Natural Grocers for the pickup.  On the way to the pantry, I dropped Jenni off at the office and then went to the pantry to put everything away.  We got a lot of eggs, so I had to put them in all the fridges.  When I was done at the pantry, I went back to the office and had some lunch.  After lunch, I went to Santa Fe to pick up some more soil to build another garden bed at The Ridge.  On my way to The Ridge, I dropped off some dirt at the pantry.  When I got to The Ridge, I got the bed put together and filled it with dirt.  When I was done building the bed, I headed back to the office, where we had to move a bunch of stuff around.  When I got there, I had to help Jenni take a clothing donation, and then we had to unload garden stuff from the van.  When the van was empty, I filled it right back up with clothes and books that we had to drop off tomorrow.  Then I headed home.  When I got home, I made some mac and cheese with vegetables for supper.  After supper, I relaxed the rest of the evening.

Day 28

We got up at 3:30, hoping to hit the road at 4 and then be on the trail at 4:30.  We were pretty close to on time.  We were hiking Mount Princeton.  Since we were in a van, we had to hike from the lower parking lot up a Four Wheel Drive trail for 3 to 4 miles.  When we finally hit single track, it didn't take long for us to be rock scrambling.  We had about 3 miles of rock scrambling to the top.  About half of it was just along the side of the mountain, but then we really turned uphill and had a pretty steep scramble to the top.  We finally made it to the top, and it was an amazing view for a little bit.  A snowstorm was moving in quickly, and we watched it start from a nearby mountain and slowly come toward us.  We had a slippery scramble down the shale on the mountain.  Then the snowstorm caught us, and it was kind of just a sleet, but it made all the rocks very slippery.  By this point, some people were fighting headaches.  ...

Day 32

Today was pantry day.  Since Trilby hurt her finger yesterday, she tagged along with me to the pantry.  I started by running to Home Depot to get a wagon wheel for the wagon at the pantry.  When I got back from Home Depot, we picked up Doug and went over to the pantry.  Jenni was sick today.  We dropped Doug off at the pantry and then went to pick up the food at Sprouts and Trader Joe's.  We had a relatively light haul from Sprouts, but a fairly substantial haul from Trader Joe's.  We got everything put away in the pantry in record time and then had time for a good, long lunch break.  There were not a lot of good options for lunch, but eventually I found a pretty good sandwich.  After lunch, we started the pantry and had about 20 to 30 people come through.  It was not that many people at the end of the month, because usually by that time their government funds have run out.  Once we hit about 2 o'clock, we pretty much didn't have an...

Day 26

Today I was with maintenance again.  We started off by going to Arcadia to do some inspections.  These rooms were much better kept than the last apartment we did inspections in.  We only had to do 3 rooms, so it didn't take long.  Then Bill took me over to Bentley, where I continued taking pictures again.  I did pictures most of the day, and then Bill picked me up at about 3:30 and we headed back to the office.  It was my day to cook, so I decided to make a pizza, which turned out pretty well.  After supper, we decided to try another community youth group for young adults again.  It was kind of like a church service with singing and a sermon.  I was not super into it because it was a non-denominational group, and they just do things a little differently.  On the bike ride home, my chain fell off while crossing the bridge over the highway.
