The Chronicles of John Trammell

Last weekend, I have decided to begin geocaching again, as a stress releaver from homework, school, and work; and that every Sunday I would go geocaching unless I have an event or meeting or weather didn't premit it.  Today, Rebekah was bored, and wanted to chill, so I took her on her first geocaching adventure with me throughout highland.  We found our first geocache no problem.  Our second cache of the day, we weren't so lucky.      I thought the cache was hidden at the AAA in Redlands, so I parked my car over there.  The coordinates kepts us going to the hotel parking lot next door.  We ended up finding the cache in the base of a light pole ( a typical location for a cache to be hidden) I took the log out of the cache, and placed the cache and the log on the wall near the dumpster.  The good thing was noone was around so we where safe to grab the cache, except there where video cameras.  As I was about to sign my username on the log, the hotel manager and the assistant came

Since high school, I have been focused on aiming for a degree in Environmental Science, and have a career within the environmental field.  For this spring semester, I started thinking that getting a degree in environmental science isn't the path for me, and I should keep the love I have for the natural environment more of a hobby then a career.        By the time the semester was over, I was very unsure what I should get a degree in, and I spent the entire summer thinking of different things that I am really good and enjoy.  Near the end of the summer, when i was in northern California for a work trip, I reliezed that everything that I do so well is things i do for work and the 4-H Youth Development Program.  I decided I would want a degree that would allow me to do the same type of things I do for work and 4-H, but make a living off of it.        After talking to many people, I narrowed down what degree I wanted to get to a B.A. in Public Administration, and that I will transfer

The 2009 CA 4-H State Leadership Conference was held at UC Merced from August 6th-9th this summer, and this year's theme was It's A BIG Deal.  With my 7th time at SLC, this year was different then any other year, for I was there for the CA 4-H Computer Corps (as always) and also for my work the 4-H Military Partnership/Operation: Military Kids at the State 4-H Office.  This year was one crazy year, but everything went real smoothly and was a great success.      My sister and I drove up to Merced on Wednsday, the day before the conference, because I didn't want to wake up super early to get up to SLC, and be all stressed out about everything.  We left the Inland Empire at noon and got to Merced at 4:30.  We stayed in the same hotel that I stayed when I took Emily and Scotty to Yosemite in July.  After getting settled into the hotel, we went to eat at applebees, then chilled the rest of the night in the hotel room watching Viva La Bam and surfing the web.      The next day,
