Description:

The party you have been waiting for! The lodge needs work and the grounds presents lots of things to do after the second ground clearing by the contractor. Look over this list and find the job that best suits you. If you are a person that can work with poison oak, you are worth your weight in gold.

Trip Report

From braving bees, cutting poison oak (I don't know where I will get the gold to pay you. How about 3 gold stars by your name on the cosmic karmic chart?), dragging heavy loads of debris, conquering those blackberries on that darn steep slope, mowing and mowing, digging up roots (grr), tending the beds, cleaning gutters, and anything else I missed, thank you very much.
