Crowley Ridge College, Paragould Ar. Second Week

Above our first tree is cut and falling. Below I am driving the tree to the dump. We got the second tree down and almost all of it cleaned up.

                            Sat. we drove to Hardy Ar. walked around the shops. Below are two murals.

                                       Above is one of the shops and below where we ate lunch.

We then drove to Mammoth Springs. Above is the old electric generator. There is over 9 million gallons an hour coming up the spring. Below is the old train station.

I got to run around the old caboose you can see me in the window.  Below is the big gun used in the civil war.  When the war was ending here after days of fighting they shook hands and went home.

Above is a waterfall on the way home in Cherokee Village. Below the tractor I was driving was on fire when we got home.  We played a game called pegs and jokers. The girls won.

Sun. We went to church in the morning and evening. We played pegs and jokers again and the guys won.
       Mon. started out good as we used the smaller tractor and took one load down to the woods. On the second load the tractor lost control and turned over trapping the driver.All of our adrenalin was used up that day.It is a miracle that the tractor landed in just a way that he came out with just a sprained foot. That night we played pegs and jokers again and the guys won.

Tues. We went up to the science building and worked on the floor and painted around the door frames and some doors. In the afternoon we went to their new building that they got from a book store and started to clean it up.  the girls got the left over books ready for sale and we started throwing away things that would not sell. The president and his wife invited us over for dinner.  Alot of the staff was there from the college.
     Wed. Some of the folks finished the science building painting the floor and doors and frames. The rest of us went to the old book store and got things ready for the sale and cleaned.  We filled a whole dumpster.
