Hi Everyone, Hope all is well back in the UK. I've been busy and therefore haven't written a blog in a while... Sorry to keep you all hanging! We've had all extremes of weather here. A couple of weeks ago I worked in a day of rain, it was just like England, didn't stop all day! We have also had a lot of snow at the cabin then to top that off last weekend I was in intense heat at Death Valley. It was about 40c, over 100f. Death Valley was great fun, very dry and hot so I ditched my [View Full Entry]

Hi, I've had a busy couple of weeks. A group of us went to Virginia City which is the oldest city in Nevada (I think)... it's a staggering 150 years old, hardly the same as in Europe! It was good to see though. It's a small place up in the mountains with lots of wooden saloons. That weekend also happened to coincide with a bikers festival called Street Vibrations. It was crazy. I've never seen so many bikers in one place and they were all so stereotypical. They seem to have some strange tradition where the women sit on the back [View Full Entry]

Hi All, Last weekend I visited Pyramid Lake and Black Rock Desert which is in Northern Nevada. It was an amazing place, very cool landscape and I had lots of fun with my 2 friends Emma and Susanna. We saw some lizards but no snakes unfortunately (I really want to see some snakes)! Pyramid Lake is on an Indian reserve in what feels like the middle of nowhere. We stopped off at a gas station and we were the only car there. It felt like something out of a movie. The roads were all so long and straight and we probably [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone, Hope you are all well. How is the weather back in England? Well it's been pretty hot here, 36c the other day. Hahahaha. Sorry but I have to rub it in. So I have now completed 3 weeks of work - time is flying by! To fill you in... we have been working on the Tahoe Rim Trail re-route which is South Lake Tahoe in a place called Stateline. It's right on the border of Nevada and California. In the last 2 weeks weather has been very hot. The work is still hard but really enjoyable - I like [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone, Sorry but I wrote the previous 2 blogs a while ago but only saved them and forgot to click on publish. That explains why you haven't seen any photos! Anyway back on track now. I have completed my first week of work which was hard but great. I really enjoyed it, it's very physical and by Friday I felt like I had run a marathon but it's very rewarding and the crew are all lovely. We have been digging a trail in a place called Heavenly near Lake Tahoe. This means moving big rocks, pulling up roots and evening [View Full Entry]

Hello Everyone, I am here in Reno. I arrived on Wednesday but have had lots of problems with internet. I am now sat in the University of Nevada library. It's a really nice uni but I feel like I'm living in an American teen movie. Everything is living up to its stereotype. On Friday night there was a house party run by the Le Cross team. It's good fun though but I do keep laughing to myself when I hear certain words such as 'awesome' and 'far out'. Reno is a funny place but I quite like it. It's very small [View Full Entry]

San Francisco is amazing! I am so tired as I've spent the last 2 days running around trying to see as much as possible. There are possibly the biggest hills I have ever seen and they seem to go on forever, my little legs feel like they might fall off. Yesterday I went to Fisherman's Wharf and saw Alcatraz in the distance - unfortunately I wont have time to visit. I then heard a strange noise coming from around the corner, as I turned I saw hundreds of seals chilling out in the sun, catching a tan on Pier 39. They [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone, Well I've possibly had the longest journey ever but I finally made it. One cancelled flight, followed by a sort of missed flight and airline mistake, followed by a good flight, followed by a delayed flight = 49 hours of travel but I'm here! The Journey After my original flight was cancelled I thought it would be a good idea to go out for just a couple of drinks before returning to the hotel to be tucked up in bed by 10! For some reason at 10 I then found myself in Soho with a beer in my hand. [View Full Entry]
