Well, a lot has taken place since arriving in Cape Charles. Working with the Nature Conservancy has been a blast. I cannot stress how awesome our location is (despite the freezing cold), I can only imagine how amazing this place is in the spring when migrating birds inhabit it.
So far this week Cain and I have worked with Park Ranger Chris. After trail clearing we had a ton of pine tree's laying around the nature trail which we threw in a pickup truck and moved to another spot in the park. Next on the agenda was repairing picnic tables. We had to replace some of the old and rotted wood on a good 10-15 tables throughout the park which we became pretty efficient at as time went on. As you can see from the picture of Cain sending sparks everywhere, some of the bolts were really rusted on there and we had to take a more serious approach to remove them...
Today we worked with a different part of the nature conservancy and worked down by the dock replacing old wooden trails and doing more trail clearing. The people we work with are awesome, and I'm still pretty shocked at the thick southern accent some of them have for being this far "north".
Tomorrow I head to D.C and get to see my twin sister! Hopefully on Saturday I will be heading to northern Virginia to see my aunt, cousin, and grandparents as well. Should be a nice weekend get away from AmeriCorps...
Oh and MommaB Maine sounds pretty amazing, as long as you appreciate what you have access to daily that's all that matters. I could definitely get used to living in a place like this, so peaceful.
Wow! Those are some awesome pictures! The sunsets are stunning! And I really like the black & whites, too. Nice artistry.
ReplyDeleteGlad you appreciate your beautiful and peaceful setting. It truly is lovely!
I appreciate the beauty of Maine every day...even the snowy ones. I have to remind some of my friends how beautiful the snow is--postcards are made of the scenes we get to live in...how sweet is that?! And my boys can confirm how excited I get every time I see an eagle. I'm afraid they don't share my enthusiasm and take the eagles for granted. I have explained to them that when I was their age, eagles were not a common sight, and it's thrilling for me to see them thriving again. You'll have to visit sometime so you can ooooo and ahhhh with me.
Have a wonderful visit with your sister!
Cheers.
I loved the pictures--would love to frame some!
