This area has
some interesting radio stations. Just the other day we heard the
Ghostbusters song remixed with Gangnam Style. And today, remember that
commercial where a camel is walking around an office all excited about it being
Wednesday because it’s hump day? Well, they turned that into a remixed
piece as well. It was weird. Look it up on YouTube as I have no
idea how to replicate the experience.
Our objective
for the day was to get rid of Black Locusts at one of the last sand prairies in
Missouri. Once we arrived Richard’s keen eye picked out a couple of
hunters on the other side of the field. He brought to our attention that
they would have guns and dogs, both of which we didn’t want to mess with.
So we called Marcus and he gave us the ok to head over to Charlie. Back
to battling Autumn Olives. I chose to just swamp today because I
was still riding a high from the cedar I cut a couple of days ago.
Whitney and I took down a nasty gnarly tree that reminded me a bit of Fern
Gully. She was very good at communicating what she was doing and what she
wanted done and, as a result, we cleared a grove. As is protocol, I
sprayed the remains of the Autumn Olive with Pathfinder II and a dash of
Milestone to ensure that they wouldn’t just sprout back.
Aside from
cleaning up the Baptist Camp that’s all we really did today. We worked
until lunch and then packed up to head home. Sounds like most of us will
be back here next week to continue what we started. So until then!
Cape Girardeau
casualties:
1 pair of safety
glasses
1 water bottle
1 pair of gloves
The first picture is a shot of us in Cape Girardeau's sand prairie while the next two were taken in Charlie-- all three of which are Sean Kerr's work. The last one I found on the internet. It is how I was feeling after messing up a rain coat my parents just got me and destroying some of my PPE. The coat is still functional so it did not make the obituary.
