This post is an experiment to see if I am going to get bumped off by Hughesnet when I upload my normal amount of photos for a post. Keep yer fingers crossed that I don’t.
When we arrived here at Payne Lake last week, we discovered that the entrance office was a mess. There was a lot of trash and stuff that looked like it hadn’t been cleaned up in years. Our first task was to get that cleaned up and ready for us to work in. This is what it looked like before we started:
(The work counter. What the heck???)
(a storage shelf)
(the floor)
It took us both working about four hours to get it in order, but look at it now:
Today, while we were working at the entrance station again, we decided to do some clean-up of the grounds. FabGrandpa used the backpack blower:
And I used the rake:
You’ll just have to trust me on that. Someone had to take the pictures! And even though I still have that palpable mass, that still flares up and makes my arm hurt if I do too much, I also still have my friends the Lortab and Naprosyn, so I did push that rake around quite a bit.
By the end of our shift, we had the place looking very nice! We’ll be doing this same thing in the campground in the coming weeks, to get it cleaned up, too. I love it when a plan comes together.
