Back Burners.

You must think that I ran away and joined the circus.

I am afraid that my excuse for not blogging isn't nearly as enthralling as that.  But no, I am still a service gypsy for the US Government.  A rather busy and internet deprived one.

Since his last blog post Josh has chilled out with some fellow bohemian hostel patrons in San Francisco, ran a few hundred of feet of fire hose down a shoreline, laughed, cried, smiled, and celebrated his time in the El Dorado National Forest, and has done a poor job of documenting it...until now.

To start Ellen, Kaitlin, Tucker, Andrea, and myself hopped on a Grayhound in Sacramento for a trip to San Francisco before we moved on to round 3.  

See?  Here I am in front of the 'Full House' House.  It doesn't get more San Fran than this.
Apparently this is some famous bridge.
Postcard Row.
The Transamerica Building...I had to see it in person.
Pigging out at the Ghiradelli Factory.
After our trip to San Fran Silver 5 made the big move to the El Dorado National Forest.  As many of you know I was not excited about this project as it lasts the rests of my duration of NCCC...but you should know that things are getting better with a little help from my friends on the team.  I'll get by.  I'd love to tell you more about the project but I am pressed for time.  One day I'll get around to posting a real blog though.  If you want to know more about the work we do check out a real blogger's post

In other news...Josh is coming back to Charlotte in a week for a little vacation!  I know I'll have time to blog then!

Until next time....
