Those things don't seem as exciting but they still have to be done. Someone has to do it and it could be you. That's how you learn. Most weekends the crews are made up of members of Humboldt Habitat for Humanity but on occasion the numbers grow as other volunteers join in. There are days when we have 20 or 30 people out here.
Nobody can match their spirit.
It's just great to have their energy channeled in a positive way like this. They're not out hangin', not out chillin', they're working. And they work hard. They're in the ditches getting dirty, hauling trash and loving every minute of it. We all have lunch together and this camaraderie just happens, a sense that everyone is all working towards a common goal.
