Loving what you do is a privilege. Loving what you do and making a positive, meaningful impact in the environment is simply surreal. Our crew has the unique oppurtunity of being involved with the organization that is known for being at the forefront for restoration and conservation work on colorados highest mountains. Currently we are putting together rock and timber structures on a trail that is above the tree line in an alpine environment . We build these structures to a 100 year standard, which means we fully expect them to still be in place 100 years from now, still in use on the trail. By doing this we ensure that hikers and outdoor enthusiasts have a way up the mountain that is sturdy, less invasive on native plants and animal life, and is an enjoyable/ appropriatley challenging for the best experience possible. There really isnt a better way for me to spend my time, in my opinion. As if this werent enough I get to do it all with 13 of the most diverse and stimulating minds that ive had the pleasure of getting to know. We laugh, we challenge eachother, and we grow together. I guess what im getting at here is that if you are a friend or a family member of someone who is currently working for a crew on an RMYC team, know that they are on a wild and meaningful ride. If you are reading this wondering if you should join an RMYC team to see what I'm talking about, just let me ask you this....DOES A BEAR POOP IN THE WOODS??
