Mission Accomplished!! (again)
Well it’s finally over, the project that is, we built nearly 4 miles of fence in 3 ½ weeks. Toughest work we’ve come across so far, but we hunkered down and handled it like champs, even finishing it in significantly less time than allotted (5 weeks). We saved a stream and some fish and we mostly did it with smiles on our faces and limited cuts from the razor sharp barb wire. And believe it or not between all this we managed to plant close to 10 thousand reeds and swamp grasses in a wetlands area that is practically in our own back yard. We came together as a crew even more than expected and stayed peaceful even as hot 10 hour days and early morning rises bared down on us. Though the hard road to greatness was not always the easiest, it was what made it difficult that made it magnificent. That’s all I have to say about that.

Take nothing for granted. Not one blessed, cool mountain day or one hellish, desert day or one sweaty, stinky, hiking companion. It is all a gift.
