Reflection week 1

 After a week of adjusting to our project and trying to work on our goals I think we accomplished a lot within our confines. One challenge so far is having to rely on so many teachers and knowing that with their busy lives and still being in classes it’s hard to work together to accomplish our needs when we need them. None the less we have had a great start to the project. 


As I have said in my previous blogs, we have been working pretty much only around the opening by the cabin. We started a little on Friday to look into what we need to do for next week but left most of it to start on Monday. We cleared out the dead wood and trees, cleared paths down to the water, and made clear and easy to see markings to show you where mud pond is. 


For next weeks goal we hope to make a clear cut path through the woods all around much pond. We will move trees that are blocking the path and cut down anything that’s growing in the paths. We are excited to start our next leg of our project and hope to reach our goals by the end. We are going to recheck into our goals to see what we started out trying to do and see if we cant incorporate those into our tasks next week!

    Sounds like you are making great progress. Can't wait to see how the trail clearing goes.

Day 2

Image
  Our second day was very fun and pretty eventful. We got to work early in the morning at 8:45. We got up there and cleaned out the clearing. We raked up dry brush, twigs, and leafs and threw them in the fire pit hoping one of these days we can light it.   We worked until 11:45 then went down for a quick JJ’s bite. We headed back up at 12 to continue our work. It turns out we don’t have the permits or permission for that but here’s hoping! We took big logs and broke them up into fire wood and piled it under the 3 sided cabin.   Bryson found the biggest logs and lined the path down to the pond with them to make use of them and make a clear boundary.  We made a sign with an old piece of flat wood and a rock and carved “Mud Pond” and our initials into it for a personal touch! We found a spare nail and hammered it into a tree at the entrance to the path (with a rock) and finally headed back down at 2 to get ready for afternoon activities!

Day 4

  Day four was pretty uneventful. Due to the fact that we’re were unable to obtain our tools we needed to complete our work, despite our continued efforts, we couldn’t do much work. We were up at 7:30 and ready to go but since we had nothing more to do at mud pond until we had our tools, we decided to take advantage of the beautiful day and go on a hike up the ski hill. Not much work was done but fun was had! We are excited to collect our tools and continue our work tomorrow.
