Where I live.

We had our first project working with Volunteers for outdoor Colorado (VOC) We were helping to build running trails in Washington Park. Which is a mile(ish) long park

Even though my team (earth 6) was assigned to help at the food table we ended up being split up to a different group to work on the trail.

My first temporary team:

My friend Riley P. (part of my team) evening the gravel out:

Afterwards they fed us and there was a blue grass band that played:

The next day I went with a group of people to Red Rocks. We saw the amphitheatre which was crazy huge. The cool thing about the amphitheatre is that it is not enclosed, completely outside. The way the rock is situated makes it work! They have had tons of amazing musicians play in this amphitheatre. When there isn’t a concert going on a lot of people go there to run up and down the stairs and through the rows of seats. There are about 67 rows that are run-able (69 sit-able).

Then we went hiking near by, which was awesome! And I found a cactus that was actually growing outside of its own free will. Not like the lame cactuses in New York that are confined to a pot.

Then we Visited the Buffalo Bill museum (didn’t go in did check out the gift shop though) and his grave site, took some cool pics.

We were all assigned to a new temporary team! I ended up in Earth 4 with Lynea as my team leader.

Lynea took the picture when we went as a team on a mini tour of Denver. Yes two girls do have mustaches, and they did walk around with them on all day!) So awesome:
