"I make a hot meal. You come home 30 minutes late. You smell like the pub?!" --Mike Pauker
We made our way this morning to the Island Lake Trail, a community trail owned by Kodiak Borough. We again split into two teams: one to do brush work and the other to place anti-skid strips on a 200-foot boardwalk. The brush work is becoming more familiar, and we're quick to assess which tool to use for each task. The boardwalk work was straightforward but lengthy: we glued down over 100 strips of mineral paper and drove ten nails into each strip. After lunch, we worked together to finish the brush work, and then we headed to the Kodiak Fisheries Science Center (NOAA). The highlight was the Touch Tank, a large, open saltwater tank where we could hold starfish, sea anemones, sea cucumbers, crabs, and sea urchins.
For dinner tonight we had fresh, locally caught king salmon, and dessert was s'mores by the campfire. Tomorrow our work will be a bit different, as we start from scratch to cut a new community trail in Kodiak.

Great expression on Emily's face at the Touch Tank! Photos are terrific -- so crystal clear. Does it get any better than fresh salmon and s'mores? That was a rhetorical question, of course. Thanks for another interesting daily report. CGPS in Kodiak is a fun start to my mornings.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Chris totally! I so enjoy reading your posting each morning! And the photos are wonderful Matthew - yes, salmon and s'mores - match made in heaven! Have a wonderful day making this world a better place.
ReplyDeletei am amazed at how much you are all accomplishing on the trails! and it is so fantastic to get to see these daily pictures and follow your journey...thank you so much Matt!
ReplyDeleteRemember one unfortunate combination would be salmon s'mores -- not so tasty!
ReplyDeleteYou all look great -- even the dog. What his name?
