So we have a large work team here this week. There are about 65 people here from UGA, Winston-Salem and a group of property staff from Sharptop Cove. I'm pretty tired from a couple of long days and am feeling a little under the weather. That may be because I've been burning branches for the past 2 days. My job for the past two weeks has been to cut and trim trees and now I'm getting rid of the debris as well as a bunch of other landscape projects. Last week we went to the movies and saw American Gangster and got some American food. So for the first time since I've been here I felt sick and it was from Burger King.
Our fun for last week was and raging inferno that broke out on property. We had paid a local guy to come in and cuth all of hte grass and vegetation out of a large canyon here at camp. The canyon is going to be filled in with dirt to make a playing field. So due to some miscommunication, some stupidity, and some strong afternoon winds, a raging fire ensued. It took everyone on property frantically fighting it to bring the fire under control. The local fire department assured us that it wasn't their problem since no buildings were in immediate danger. Thus it was a forestry issue. Now that there is nothing left in the pit, that is where we burn stuff. Just under two weeks to go, I can't believe how fast time is passing.
