So the new area is
great. We do so much work out on the Rez so I'm sure I'll be having
stories for days about the Rez life. To begin. My second day here we got
stuck going on a back road out on the Rez. We're in a small Subaru so
it's still decent in winter conditions but the clearance is tiny. So we
get stuck and the guys son we were going to visit comes out and starts
digging the snow with us. But, that doesn't work and he has to go so
we're sitting there wondering what to do. Luckily (unlike how rez's
usually are) there was a house nearby and a lady called some friends to
help us out. In the meantime these two Natives come out of nowhere and
start helping dig and push the car. That still doesn't work but we're
starting to make progress. So eventually these guys in a truck come up
(the ones the lady called) and we're trying to figure out where we can
hook a rope to and they're making jokes about just wrapping it around
the car. At that point we figure we have enough people to just push it
out (5 of us pushing) so that's what we do. They're all laughing and
making jokes about coming out on the rez. After, we get out they're all
like: "Make sure you don't do that again, this roads for trucks eh" and
"Make sure you stay out on the packed snow" Overall a good time and a
great way to meet the Natives. Sidenote we knock on one of the guys's
door the next day and he's like "I'm one of those guys who pushed you
out" We had a good laugh about that and we were able to get his info to
come back. It was a good time :)
Other than
that I don't think I have enough time to say much else other than it's
been freezing cold these last few days. My new companion is an example
to me which is great. He's been giving'r his entire time here and now
we're starting to see the fruits of his labors. There's going to be some
good stuff happening in these next 6 weeks.
