Road Trip 2012

Posted on April 9, 2014 by Nicholas Weaver

Tonight I decided to go through both of my computers and do some spring cleaning, ya know, the every couple month purge of files you once thought you needed to keep! Right around thirty minutes into my hard drives is about when I found all those files I kept but have zero use for. Well this time around I not only purged the files, I also came across old photos I took just over two years ago when my good friend Evan Perigo and I went on a two and half week road trip. I can’t begin to write up or describe half of the events which took place, but what I can say is that these pictures, or potentially this never ending winter, have stirred up the travel bug inside of me. I think I’ve always been someone who can’t really every sit still or stay in one place for too long without getting antsy.

Below are some of the shots, and as I continue to go through more of my files Im hoping to find a few others I can add to this post.

: Ricky and his sex books!

: Some random stream in the Smoky Mountains

: Evan getting use to his wild mustang

: Our guide leading us up the mountain

: A lighthouse off the shore in South Carolina

: A giant tree

: Just after we got home, enjoying some hookah by the river

Week of Hope

Posted on August 4, 2012 by Nicholas Weaver

For those of you who know me, I am prone to make plans, leave town on a whim, and return with some crazily entertaining story. I do have a couple crazy stories, but this time I skipped town to do some volunteer work in San Diego, California.

Just a couple weeks ago, a spot opened up for an adult volunteer to go with Holy Cross Lutheran Church to Group Workcamp’s Week of Hope. I somehow haven’t made a trip out to California ever, and thought this would be a great opportunity to check out the west coast.

The premise of these work camps are to do service projects in communities of need. Projects range from building homes to cleaning up trash along the beach. Basically, whatever the need is, all the volunteers buckle down and do whatever they can to assist the project coordinators and those in need. Its a great experience and something I would encourage you to look into for yourself or a youth group you’re involved with. Kids and adults alike learn and grow so much as individuals through out the week and it provides them with an opportunity to get outside their normal comfort zone.

: During a lunch break and devotions at Olivewood Gardens.

: Peterson & Connor Hard at work

: The whole gang after our first service project was completed. The people of Olvewood Gardens learning center and their vision is amazing. It was a honor and pleasure to work with this organization.

: Mission beach after one of our service projects. Another crew was tasked with cleaning up the beach and surrounding area.

: Tom Boseker and Zach Heck at La Jolla beach. These guys kept me in line throughout the whole trip. Solid dudes

: Tom and I on the cliffs of La Jolla beach.

: Two crews from Group Workcamp’s Week Of Hope helping out at a local food band in San Deigo, CA

: Our group after two days of work at this community garden. We built four raised flower beds, two compost bins, organized their scrap wood, and leveled out the garden base.
