Since the refuge has reopened, we have been busy, even with a total of 4 volunteer couples, we still have a lot to do. The maintenance crew for the 3 refuges in this area mowed a lot of the public areas. I spent a couple of days weed eating and trimming trees on the trails.
This week we started spraying the boardwalks and pier. There is a total of close to 1/2 mile. Today we sprayed 30 gallons on water seal.

Across from our camp site where the old plantation house, we have a field of red spider lilies or sometimes called "Naked Ladies". They put up a single stem with a red bud that opens to become this beautiful flower. After the flower drops off, it finally put up the leaves.
Well with the federal government shutdown, the fall celebration is cancelled for the 19th and we still have nothing to work on.
There is only so much sight...

Wow, some excitement late yesterday. I was walking Abby for her long evening walk and on the way back, I could hear shooting near the boat ramp. Semi-automatic pistol, 20 to 30 rounds was being fired. I put in a call to the two law enforcement officers and they were both working illegal hunters on other refuges.
I saw the car pulled up into a hiking trail and took a photo of the license. As I walked away, three guys were coming back toward the car. I hurried Abby on and got down...

Well we have a holiday now with the government shut down. First time I have been laid off from a non-paying job.
The National Wildlife Refuge is closed to the public. The refuge manager and one other law enforcement officer are considered essential personnel and are here. Everyone else is furloughed for now. We get to keep our site here and are now allowed to do any work on the refuge. We have a gate key and come and go as we please.
At least anther host couple came...
