In 2003 I was 17, out of high school, and looking for a job. I found you guys and you offered me a mentor position with the corps. That was probably one of the greatest positions I have held in my life. I gained so much wilderness experience and felt so much more comfortable in the wilderness because of those times spent there. That was a Summer I will remember forever. In 2004 I hit the Appalachian Trail, and walked it from GA-ME. This past Summer I walked 1100 Miles on the Pacific Crest Trail (then ran out of money ... But this coming Summer I am planning to hike the CDT from Mexico to Canada... or Mexico to CO then MT to CO...whatever happens, I'm going to attempt hiking the whole trail. I look forward to hitting Steamboat Springs and when I do I'll stop by RMYC and thank you personally. But have a Happy New Years, and best of luck to you and the crews! --Andrew Rivers
