Colorado 2020: The Joder Homestead
This post will be a little different. Rather than recounting one of my work days, it will focus on the incredible landscape in which my AmeriCorps crew and I lived: the Joder homestead.

When I moved to Colorado in the summer of 2020 to spend all of my time either working outdoors or being isolated in a house outside of town, I used to brag that I was about as COVID-safe as possible. Events that took place of July 29, 2020 showed that wasn’t entirely true.
Following our trip to the Flatirons, July 27, 2020 was the next noteworthy day during my time in Colorado. That’s because it was my first day actually working with the most dreaded figure in the City of Boulder’s Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) department: Jo.
On July 23, 2020, I got to do the most touristy thing I did during my seven-month stay in Boulder: hike the Flatirons.
As promised, I’m finally continuing the story of my AmeriCorps term in Colorado. The last entry in this series recounted events that took place on July 15, 2020. On that day, my work crew and I began working on a trail managed by the City of Boulder’s Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) department. We returned to that trail on July 16, although there was a twist later on.
The year 2020 is almost over, and I expect that many people are glad of it. While this was a difficult year for me, it was also a surprisingly good one. Now, as Winter approaches, it’s time for me to leave Colorado and begin the next phase of my journey.
The month-and-a-half since my last update has been an eventful period – not just for me, but for the world.
Happy World Wildlife Day! I believe I’ve set a world record for time elapsed between blog posts, as it’s been three weeks since my last entry. Here’s what’s been going on, along with some exciting news.
