our final volunteer day...

Beautiful morning, 61 when we got up and it only got warmer after that.  we went to finish the horse trail to measure and inventory the signs markers.  we walked about 4.5 miles through the woods, it was pretty warm (80) and humid!  but it was wonderful.  we seen a turtle..

some critters bones..

we also seen some rutted out areas, could be wild hogs!!   also some coyote paw prints in the mud. of course the birds were all singing.  after we finished the trail we went to the visitor center where the American Hiking Society was working on replacing a boardwalk. 

the pond at the visitor center has alligators!  and since it was 80+ they were active...  we seen two of them!  well we were not there to work.. (and they were working really hard) so we headed back to the campground.

the new hosts showed up and we handed off the keys and paperwork!  they are here for two months. 

we are officially on sabbatical from volunteering until this fall.  it will be hard to go back to doing nothing but we will try to find some chores to do...

we are heading to Hilton Head for two days to relax and begin our sabbatical! We will leave the campground on Thurs or Friday, depending on the weather.  hope to be home by March 9th, again depending on the weather.
