HAPPY 4th to all!

HOB: The center of activity this morning was HOB with a total of 5 crawls all before the end of the treeline! Martha felt it would be good practice for some who have not had much activity. Judy Moody was summoned but was ‘off Reservation”. ‘Energizer Michael’ rose to the occasion and began working on the northernmost crawl. As it turned out, there was one natural nest and 4 false crawls. The issue in the wooded area is roots, soft sand and the coyote marked the northernmost crawl. Thanks to Martha and Michael for the sweat equity they devoted today!
