congrats on all you've done, and kudos to the kids! 

was this a group run?

I didn't see it posted. If I had known, we could've joined you all. I actually had a weekend off (for once )

Great job all!   Wish I could have been there,  but Katiya is down right now.   Seems every seal in the transmission decided to blow.   Had a trans fluid cat fire the other night.   So two wheeling it for the time being.   Plus I was all the way in Lancaster all weekend doing my FAA exam.

Terry - not sure about the bonus situation...I know if individuals get 250/500 hours they have some incentives.  The BIG bonus is a cleaner/better forest!

Shiloh - yes, your hours are correct, thanks.  Yes, when you get approved shoot a run report with what you saw and trash picked up etc.  Very simple...a paragraph or two.

Thank you all.

Shi,
How about we co-author a consolidated trip report, if you would like.

99 + 30 = 129 hours work.

The day included:
            

• AAT Sign Installation at southern border.

• Approx. 75# of refuge cleanup on 3 different trails.
• Documented areas requiring further attention.

          If you would like to list the explicit points here

• Watching the kids getting back with nature    

What else should we add and I'm willing to strike anything if you think it too cheesy.

That sounds great Terry! Thanks. Sorry it took me longer than I thought it would, Taylor ended up getting sick. So when we were out there, we marked a couple of spots on the GPS... one place that has a damaged drain that needs to be fixed, the shooting area #1 that needs to be cleaned up, and then another place that has a sign missing and is just an empty post. There were also several places that looked like someone was just driving around shooting the signs and drains. Other than that, we did a lot of cleanup.

Drove 2N02 on Sunday, wasn't expecting to see a shiny new sign! Kuddos to the installers, it looked fantastic! Snapped a pic of it on my way down to J-tree.

Hey all the thanks go to the kids.   They had more fun doing this...


Well I guess their dads helped a little:

So great to see kids getting involved!

And thanks for stopping by the Discovery Center and doing some gold panning, hope the kids got some gold to take home. Probably ran into you and didn't know it, I was the one making sno-cones all day.

My pleasure Meredith.

We are going to have X's tattooed on our foreheads so we recognize each other    I'm sorry, we wandered around the Discovery Center for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes.  I'm sure we all saw each other.   As a matter of fact, I saw your X parked on the back row now that I think of it.
