We are getting the royal treatment this week. The room I’m staying in has a queen size bed,
a bunk bed, a futon that folds out into a bed, and a bathroom. Oh yeah, there’s one more thing: I have this
room to myself! We could easily fit both
the red and the orange team in just one of these rooms, but we were given 6 so
we are making the most of it. As for
where we are… I know it is a Nazarene Camp of sorts but the exact name eludes
me. Something to do with Pine. Anyways, the camp is gorgeous and our
sleeping quarters are the equivalent of a 4 star hotel. This is going to be a good week.
To kick things off my team went over to a local river and
eradicated any Bush Honeysuckle we could find.
For extra credit we took down a fair amount of Privet too. While walking our impromptu grid I came
across a natural stone formation that could have passed as a fort. It vaguely reminded me of Weathertop. In place of Ringwraiths there was Bush
honeysuckle assaulting the ruins so I assumed Aragorn’s role and came to the
rescue. Other than that the day went on
to be a pretty normal day. I’m just
happy we are all in one piece as the insane wind storms and tornadoes that
ripped through Missouri and Illinois yesterday made a mess of things. I lost count of how many widow-makers and
fallen trees we had to work around. We
did it though!
