Today we worked in the National Park clearing hiking paths. The park ranger that was with us is the only paid employee of the National Park area here, so all maintenance of the parks and hiking trails is done by volunteers. It was hard work, but the views were incredible and the areas where we took breaks along the river were great. We really had a good day. We are back at Eagle Ranch now and everyone is relaxing a little before dinner. After dinner there is a volleyball tournament. Many of the kids will be taking part, with those of us not playing rooting on the teams. After the tournament we will be having a bonfire if everyone can stay awake long enough. We're all pretty tired.
Everyone that we have worked with and that works at Eagle Ranch has been so wonderful. The kids have been very respectful and courteous of all as well. It has been so nice to see. We have been very proud of them so far.
Tomorrow we have another long day of service. In the morning we will be visiting the seniors, and then off to the museum. In the afternoon we will be working at a home clearing the outside of kudzu. We plan on stopping at the Blue Hole on the way home at the end of the day for a quick swim.
