Drivin' time

AmeriCorps Adventures, Day #2.

This training day consisted of... driver safety! The first few hours of the day was spent in a classroom learning about the importance of safety while driving and operating the government van that we will be traveling in for the next few months, followed by a written multiple choice driving exam, and a whole lotta driving. Drivers' ed, anyone? Everyone was required to take the written exam, even if you didn't have a license and/or didn't feel comfortable driving such a massive vehicle around. After the written exam we split up into our groups of 10-12 while each member, essentially, took the driving part of the exam.

During the day of we ended up getting to see other breath-taking sites in Colorado such as...

right outside of Buffalo Bill's Museum & Grave in Golden, CO (Look Out Point)

and Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre.

From there we made our way back to campus followed by a Target run, dinner, and free time. Tomorrow will consist of going to the clinic for our physicals, followed by more logistical stuff, and ending with some sort of activity with all the members in my unit that our team leaders have planned.
