This week, quite different from the heat wave of two weeks ago, we saw a freeze at Agua Caliente. Overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday is when the cold front really moved in and I woke up freezing in the tent Wednesday morning. Thursday morning when we went to work we found out at the Ranger Station that it was in fact 29 degrees out. Ice had formed in puddles and down water fountains.
We all bundled up and headed out for work on a physically demanding and soreness inducing project, rebuilding the campground's amphitheater. We started working on it on Tuesday and finished up Thursday. It was a great project and exciting to see such visible results. We lined a new path with stones, built stairs, and completely redid the terraces to allow picnic tables to be set uphill. We created new hills, leveled ground with all of the extra dirt we turned up, and lined the hills with stones to add to the space's aesthetic appeal.
Also, Wednesday night into Thursday we had visitors! Our Unit Leader, Jeanine, and Support Team Leader, Maureen, came to do a midsite checkin. It went great and we got some wonderful feedback from our sponsors. 
All in all, it was a wonderful work week.
