I have been fairly busy working my second job and doing service projects. Lately, we have been doing a lot of trail clearing, plus we helped clear a herring run and planted some more beach grass. I also went to a cut and burn with the National Seashore. The state is doing a research project to study a plant that seems to only grow after a fire. They don't know why this is, so they are going to burn different sections in the woods and study the results. Our job was to cut back all the big stuff and make burn piles. We could not burn the piles because it was too windy. We also went on our mid-year retreat at Coast Guard Beach. It was a really nice break from the typical week. Although, it was cold we still walked on the beach and went for a walk in the White Ceder Swamp. We also did some training and team building games. The last day of our retreat, we saw a dead baby seal on the beach which we believe a coyote got it. I took some pictures if anyone would like to see them, but I am not going to put them on here because they are very graphic. Not much else has happen here on the Cape. I am still working next door and it is going well. Being a server is hard work. I am exhausted when I come home. Overall, things are still going well.
