#17 "Better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times."

      Today we went back to Tiger mountain to work on the trail. We left at 7 and right away on our driveway we saw a bobcat! So we're beginning to be a lot more aware if were walking around outside. The drive there was beautiful because the sunrise was an reddish/pink/orange color and was reflecting off the clouds.  We got a lot accomplished but still have a lot to do. For the most of the time today I had to dig out mineral soil that is underneath organic soil. I learned that mineral soil takes hundreds of years to form from organic to mineral; and that mineral soil is the best kind of soil for hiking because once it is placed somewhere it really doesn't move from other natural elements such as rain. While we were working, my TL found a lizards tail that was flailing around which was pretty neat. I also tried sushi for the first time today and I'm not sure if it was just from the different ingredients that were in it, but let me tell you, that was one of the first new kinds of foods that I have tried while I've been away that I did not like. In general today wasn't too exciting. When we got home we played ultimate Frisbee for PT then while two of my team mates were cooking dinner, my TL, a few other team mates and I headed to the thrift store so I could buy the second twilight book: "New Moon" and they wanted to buy a couple different shirts. We headed home and had dinner which were burritos! Yum! Then tonight me and 3 other team members that are staying in Carnation during Thanksgiving break, booked tickets to go to Seattle's Space Needle on the 28th, then go to the Chihulu Garden and Glass Museum, which is a museum that has hand blown glass that is absolutely beautiful! After the Museum we plan on going to a tree lighting event in Seattle that is well known around the city. Were all extremely excited for break to be able to tour around the town and a small portion of the city. Tomorrow is our Friendsgiving with the WCC crew and were all getting ready for that!
Also thank you everyone who has been sending me mail! I greatly appreciate knowing what is going on back home and it makes a few of my team mates a bit jealous ha!

P.S. These pictures are really poor quality, but it was the best I could get while in the van.
