June 10 – Chilly day

Barb reported “This morning at 7am it was 47°. The 9:45pm temperature was 51, barometer is 29.88 and steady. It likely never got above 60.”

Much of the area between the boathouse and the hill was brush hogged with areas around the landing cleared by hand. Poison ivy was sprayed around paths for the safety of visitors and volunteers.

A cover was built for the water system.

The proposed paint stripper was tested on one of the Assistant Keeper’s doors. We often try to test things ahead of time so a team doesn’t plan on doing something with a product that doesn’t work….there’s no chance to run to the hardware store and get something else!

Here’s our team winding down and warming up.
