Quinn's Trails and Trials

8/20/21 Today after work a group of people chose to play some board games. What we didn't realize was that we would remain playing board games for 8 hours! I got off of work and made a phone call about a potential job opportunity and then once Amos got off we all gathered in the Dungeon, staffing basement, and started playing Rail Baron. It came close to ending after about 5 hours but another player in the game stopped the person from winning so the game continued for another hour. We then played the game Secret Hitler for 3 hours. There were lots of laughs and interesting game experiences. It was an awesome afternoon/evening, especially since it was raining all day. Tomorrow I am working because my manager is out of town, so it will be my first Saturday on the job since I started in June. 8/21/21 This morning there was an older gentleman that came in and starting charging his camera battery in the lobby. Once he set it up he came up to the front desk and started talking to me. I h...

  MAIL Quinn Endicott/SWC  110 9th Street West Columbia Falls, MT 59912 8/13/21 Today was another regular shift at Swiftcurrent. Although with it being Friday the 13th there was talk of having a movie night in the dungeon. The talk turned out to just be talk because when I got off of work at 8pm there was no movie happening. Also, we had two ranger friends come and stay the night for a huge hike that I am a part of for tomorrow called the Skyline Experience. We are planning on being on the trail at 5:30am and expect the trip to take between 12-14 hours. I ended up going to bed fairly early to try and get some rest in preparation. 8/14/21 What a crazy day it has been! So we ended up leaving for the trail head at 5:30am and then didn't get on the trail until 6:00am because of stretching, packing, and eating. The sun was barely up when we did start and we took off on the Cracker Lake trail. We hiked for about 4 miles until we started following a creek bed up the mountain side. Th...

MAIL Quinn Endicott/SWC  110 9th Street West Columbia Falls, MT 59912 8/6/21 Today ended with a somewhat fun night. A friend from the St. Mary valley asked if I wanted to join them at their employee prom. Since I was going to stay over at their apartment already I decided that I would go ahead and go. I was hoping the music would be fun to dance to but was sadly disappointed by the guy who was in charge of the music. At one point I asked him if he could play Uptown Funk as to which he drunkenly replied, "$!&@ you, we aren't playing white people music!" It was not the response I was expecting but I laughed anyways. Ironically he was an upper class white male who goes to school in Europe. We ended up leaving the prom a little bit after that interaction and then heading to bed. Before bed though one of my friends read the story You are Special  and I hadn't listened to a bedtime story in a while. It was quite relaxing hearing a story before bed, especially one that h...
