sand skink update


It probably looks ridiculous, but it's working. I'm putting down sand skink boards in the south tract. The process consists of walking along a relatively straight line through the woods with the strap of my GPS unit in my teeth, a log book in my belt and plywood boards balanced on my head. I've got 50 board out so far, but have several to go. Yesterday it was cloudy and I had no guidance from the westering sun (I'd turned off my GPS unit) and came out the north side instead of the west side as planned. I found some more trash, though nothing major. I hope to have all the boards out by the weekend.
