Catalina PICs

Traveling to PAIR O DICE

After a week or so of transition we got to finally go to Catalina Island. While on the island my team will be working with the Catalina Conserv. We will be doing out planting, trail building, construction, building guard rails and burn fences. It is very very hard work. We are living at a camp called The Catalina Experience or TCX for short.

End of Texas, Transition..Ok odds and Ends

After Christmas I went back to Texas for about three weeks. In total we worked on eight houses in the Beaumont area. It was really sad to leave Texas. The project sponsors and all the people we met while there will always have a special place in my heart. However leaving Texas was made much easier when my team and I found out that we were going to Catalina Island. Of course we can't go straight to Catalina, we have to have transition first. During transition there are formal debriefings and briefings and a slew of other meetings. But the great thing about transition is seeing all of the people you met earlier in the year during CTI. Over transition the guy on my team with crazy hair, cut his hair very short. But before he cut it we got to straighten it. Well I didn't but I got to watch!
