Matt Comes






Since Chelsie left for home to start the spring semester I have been clowning around with Matt in the vast expanse of sand and rock from Las Vegas to St. George. We spent our first night camped out on the shores of Lake Mead and then made our way to our new home, St. George. It is a nice city about the size of Bloomington and everything is new and modern. We have found all the amenities of home here except that of a good bookstore. Otherwise things are quite nice. We headed out to Zion National Park to spend an afternoon but, have mostly been preparing to start training for our job on Friday. Today we hiked into Johnson's Canyon on a short walk to try to regain our hiking legs. Living in the truck is working out nicely. It is a bit different than we both anticipated though. Mostly the smell is worse. Every morning I wake to the rudeness of water dripping on my face from the condensation of the topper. Matt is also a bit of a snorer which causes my "arm spasms" to act up promptly striking him in the back. Living life as a homeless is pretty fun so far though. Today we showered up in the St. George Recreation Center for a dollar. You just have to be creative to find a way to what you need. Also if you are viewing please leave comments. It is nice to know who my audience is. Curt

Hey Curt, Very Witty! I understand hanging out with Matt often involves a smelly atmosphere. Hang in there, eventually you'll probably just go numb. Have fun in training this week. I'll be following the adventures of the dynamic duo. Josh

curt, that sounds like a neat trip. Just be sure to use a lot of chemicals when cleaning the back of that truck... wouldn't want you to bring that stinch back to indiana with you. Take care buddy.

Hey Josh I think you meant to say Ace and Gary right. I mean that is who we are.
