A Bonfire Celebration

So the Hard-boiled Dozen has been working hard the past few weeks on an on-going project, which involved a whole lot of invasive species (plant) removal.  We've had some workouts, we've been scraped up a bit, and enjoyed some close run-ins with Poison Ivy, all in efforts to make the roads and trails clearer and safer for the incoming camp groups.  It's satisfying seeing how much has been cleared.  However, we were able to really appreciate everything we've done on Friday night...

Throughout the past three weeks, we've been transporting all of the dead brush and invasive species to a large field, and on Friday night we were treated to a gigantic bonfire of the pile that has formed.  I have never seen a fire this large before, and it was very exciting for the team to get together to watch, roast some marshmallows and veggie burgers (extremely carefully), and watch the flames light up the field around us after it being so dark out.  It was a blast, and it was a great way to celebrate our success in clearing these trails.  Now, let the weekend begin... we're exhausted, and its time to recharge for our final week with Camp Highroad, as we transition to Perry Point, and over to DC.
