Friends, I believe I am sunburned!
We experienced our first consecutive 70 plus degree day since the summer
and it was glorious. Wes Bucheit, our
contact, lead us to a new unit to tackle and surmised that we could knock it
out in a day. The forester who had
surveyed the area had only done so from the road looking in… and he missed
some… Nah, he missed a lot. Our crew was
ambushed by Bush Honeysuckle moments after we arrived and the attack did not
relent. We ultimately had to retreat
because of their sheer numbers, but our counterattack will begin at 800 and
we’ll see who gets the last laugh! We
have these really cool sci-fi looking handsaws on our side. I believe this gives us not only an element
of cool but an unbeatable edge over our opponents. Those sons of bushes won’t know what hit ‘em!
I got to play with the handsaw from the future all day. It made me very happy. Despite not finishing the area as our contact
had hoped, I feel we got a lot accomplished.
The Honeysuckle hid in dead trees, thick pine groves, and even
barricaded itself with brambles, but we all went in after them regardless of
the obstacle. I’d wager this particular
project will take two more days. Wes
thought the invasive would just be patchy like it was at our location
yesterday, but this unit has carpeted itself with the stuff. Maybe we’ve found the worst already. Guess we’ll wait and see!
Good night
all. I hope you’re experiencing as nice
of weather as we are!
