The Hummingbird Cabin that we are staying in is aptly
named. While the rain was taking one of
its intermissions I saw as many as 8 hummingbirds at a time from our back
porch. They seemed particularly
interested in our Gatorade, but we were too busy replenishing to share. We hiked close to 6 miles by the time lunch
rolled around… that’s more than many of my recent projects have done in an
entire day! I’m glad the storms came to
offer a reprieve as my body has not transitioned over from the spraying lull.
The place we’re working in is part of the Irish Wilderness,
which has some interesting rules. For
instance, no power tools are allowed. No
vehicles, no chainsaws, nothing. We can
only use hand tools to prep the trails so it is a lot of work! We’re holding strong though!
My only issue so far isn’t even tied to our service here; I
was flossing when my teeth caught and shredded the string. As it wouldn’t go upward I tried pulling it
out through the side, but that just caught the majority of the shredded floss
between my teeth. It hurts, but the pain
isn’t debilitating so I’m soldiering on.
I’m hoping to buy some picks to try and poke it out next time we’re in
town.
Night all, hope you’re all doing well!
