We survived our first full 10 hour day at Amazon. I\u2019m not sure, but I can\u2019t find any muscle in my body that doesn\u2019t hurt. Wow! What a workout! Work campers call it the \u201cAmazon Weight Loss and Workout Program\u201d and they weren\u2019t kidding! I don\u2019t know about the weight loss thing but it was a workout.<\/p>\n

The 10 hour day goes by pretty fast though. We are busy the whole time and between mandatory breaks and our lunch 1\/2 hour breaking up the day, it didn\u2019t seem so bad. Both John and I (and most of our fellow work campers) are exceeding Amazon\u2019s expected goals for us two fold, so our supervisors are quite happy with us.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t have a lot of time for activities on work days, but we did find time on one of our days off to take a walk.<\/p>\n

Coffeyville has a dike system similar to Williamsport and we took a walk along the river on Monday. On the walk we found the biggest acorn we had ever seen!<\/p>\n

\"x-default\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The oak tree that it came from, wasn\u2019t\u2019 a monster tree or anything, in fact it seemed on the small side. However a mature Bur Oak tree will be somewhere around 80 feet high, with a 3 foot trunk and a crown span around 60 feet. This tree was MUCH smaller than that, but the acorns were not.<\/p>\n

John was astounded and claimed \u201cit\u2019s as big as my big toe!\u201d. Hmm. Not sure his toe is that<\/em> big.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
