[pct-l] Project: Arch-Angel

[Jason M.]

The ravens in Green Valley begin their squabbling early and by 6:30 the oak
tree above the Lunatic Lounge was a war zone. I peeled my stinkin tired
butt off the futon, shuffled to the kitchen and hit the brew button on
Momma T's coffee maker.

Steve Climber was roused by the smell of the fresh perk and began grumbling
his way through a "ga mornin', wha time's it?"

"Time ta get rollin..."

We whipped up poached eggs and pancakes for breakfast and hit the road fer
Agua Dulce to help L-Rod set up the tents and cots. Driving Virgo's car
along the serpentine canyon roads from Green Valley proved a challenge
until my fourth cup of coffee kicked in; and it was smooth travels from
there. We arrived at mid day and took a moment to check out that sexy new
washing machine that y'all donated money for. Built to last and ready to
roll. It was only fitting to have waited to do our laundry until arriving
at L-Rod's.

Time fer the tents: Sugar Momma lent a hand for six hours as well as MeToo
& Jellybean's Granny. With their help we were able to get them all up in
one shot - which puts us ahead of schedual. A big HikerTrash hug goes out
to all of the hikers who lent a hand today, Hiker Heaven's bout ready fer
the herd.

Climber and I will roll back to the Casa tomorrow to do some tree trimming
and yard work as well as possibly setting up a cook tent and port-a-pots if
we're able to raise the money for it. We will be leaving for Old Station
early in the week and will be to FireFly's house in time to host a one week
work party sponsored by The Wolverines. If you can make it to Old Station
to lend support, I'll do the cookin and Climber will find ya a project that
you can wrap yer hands around. We have commitments from a few hikers and
family members but we could sure use a few more bodies on the ground to
make an impact before FireFly flashes home to her Hideaway.
