Thursday, August 14, 2025 – Another Very Busy Day, Getting Worn Out!

Hi Darlin'!
Despite being tired last night, I had trouble falling asleep, so didn't feel as rested this morning as I had hoped. The day got off to a busy start, out on the trail by 10:30 with the intention of finishing up everything in the Horseshoe Bend Park and leaving only the Frenchtown Preserve to be done tomorrow, but that didn't quite work out. I got most of it done, but had to stop and remove several trees that had come down presumably because of the storm last night. Flash and I worked non-stop until nearly 3:30, and still have a couple of small trails to finish up. Then Richard called and asked for my help, and we ran out a load of woodchips to cover a section on the trail, and ran a small section of the trail, only discover more trees down, one that was totally impassable, so we had to clear all those up. It was nearly 6:00 by the time I got home, and we're going to have an even busier day tomorrow from the looks of it. We now have to run every trail looking for downed trees and any markers that may have come down (though from what I saw, remarkably, the ones I put up during the week seemed to all be still in place!), we have to put the signs out, but we're not going to get them before 10:00, so it will be a late start and a busy day. Off to bed early, with plans to take a Tylenol PM is I don't get to sleep right away, I can't afford another restless night! Good night, sweetie! Love you!
