First few days

As the days have passed here in Utah since I have arrived I have wanted to convey to all those who care what it is exactly Curt and I have been doing. Well I think the first step in the process is to help you visualize how we are getting from point A to B and to see how we are carrying our gear and where we are sleeping. So for this simple task I have provided a few pictures to hopefully show everything it is you need to know in order to fully grasp our experience. The truck, which holds all of our gear in two drawers in the bed of the truck. Our sleeping quarters above that is outfitted with our sleeping bags and a nice soft mattress that Curt purchased. Anytime we need anything from these drawers we simply have to find a place to park, lug out these huge beasts and dig through the mounds of gear and food that we have, no biggie. It actually is not that bad. Another item that I thought you may find interesting is our diet thus far: Day 1-Breakfast V-8 and m&m's. Dinner Pasta and Tuna, fresh tomatoes. Day 2-Breakfast A fat apple and peanut butter, and carrots, and a carnation instant drink mix, in a movie theatre parking lot. Throw a few hamburgers in there and there we have it. And finally, what on earth have we been doing? Driving around trying to become familiar with the town, trying to find a place to take a shower (which we did today for a buck and a half), and getting ready for our training which is the 12th -18th. We also have gone on two hikes to get our legs ready, both short and easy. One at Zion National Park and one Johnson Canyon Trail here in St. George. Some of you I have talked to have many questions about this experience, ask away and I will answer them as best I can. Next time I should have an address as well so I can give that out. The next seven days will be very interesting and I simply can't wait to see how on earth this company actually works. Until next time.
