The worst thing about the project is that you have chainsaws going the whole day, you have your earplugs in so you can't have a conversation with anyone, so 10 hours really feels like 10 hours.
The campsite was really nice though. We were camping on the shores of Lake Mohave, and it was so beautiful. Every night we sat eating our dinner, looking out over the lake at the sunset.
The worst thing (other than the Tamarisk) was that there were rogue donkeys around the campsite. They had been used for mining, but when they had finished with them the miners let them go wild - so now they have basically no fear and will approach humans. You could hear them making noises in the middle of the night (fucking terrifying) close to the campsite. One even chased Lucy when she went to the toilet at lunch. This is why I hate donkeys
Can't be arsed to write much more, here's a shitload of pictures:
Hello.
ReplyDeleteI thought Tamarisk was a lovely bush with pink flowery branches,perhaps its different from the one we get in england we did have one in the garden it is supposed to withstand very windy areas.
As usual your pictures are brilliant.
I hope you are continuing to have a smashing time with lots of very hard work and long drinking times.
See you soon mum x x
Oooowww... Just re-read your donkey induced misadventure, i think you're justified in a little hatred.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes the tamarisk (on google images)does have lovely pink flowers but it also appears to be massive, a bit spiky and looks a bugger to remove. Keep up the good work! x
