Day 6 - Service Project

Today was probably the participants most favorite day...Service Project Day! There is nothing like forgetting about yourself and doing a little service for someone else. Today, they went back to the Pipeline Trail in Mill Creek Canyon and helped the Cottonwood Canyon Service group cut back brush that was beginning to crowd the trails. Here are a few photos from the day:

Truman was our lucky participant for the day...and we would like to emphasize lucky! He almost made a new friend today, but it's the type of friend most people would not like to make. Truman managed to walk right in front of a rattle snake without it striking him. In fact, Bailey (whom was walking behind Truman at the time) said that Truman's foot even touched the snake. The snake was probably caught off guard by Truman's presence, because he did rattle his tail and get into a striking position after Truman's passing. Good thing too, it's very rare that anyone can get that close to a rattler without it striking!
