Nevada - Americorps Time

I'm trying to remember all the places Blue 5 went and all the things we did during our time in Nevada, both Reno and Henderson.  I need your help and photos! (well, I would like the photos...Chau, this means you!!  I gotta go dig up mine also)  Here's what I can remember now, not sure about the dates - help with that would also be awesome.  Thanks Blue 5!!


Reno
lived in bunk bed housing (weird)
helped sort things at donation center near Fernley, NV
worked on houses affected by flood in Fernely, NV
lived in sketchy hotel
pulled cottonwoods out of ground and replanted
took out irrigation system
removed tumbleweeds from area near creek
lived in a church (I remember being sick there)
built irrigation ramps out of rocks in a wash
surveyed people on wash usage
anything else??

Henderson
"swanky" apartments
camped and worked at Ash Meadows Wildlife Refuge
 -cattail clearing, also cut/pulled weeds out of stream to help it flow
 - learned about Devils Hole pupfish - they're doing well!
camped and worked at Lake Mohave picking brassica..to forever haunt our dreams
worked at Lake Mead picking brassica
visited Death Valley and Racetrack Playa - where we "saw" a UFO - actually the moon - and almost ran out of gas
I can't remember much else besides brassica...and the various ways to try to keep from going insane while picking the stuff
