on the B corner section of the mountain. Another type of purchased banana tree
was moved up to the mountain.

September 9-12, 2023 - This was overnight trip
number 51 and was for four days and three nights. This trip was all about
working on the B corner section of the mountain. The view of the reservoir is
now incredible. I actually got bit by a small wasp and my left arm swelled up
from my wrist to my elbow. The bite hurt quite a bit and then became incredibly
itchy and lasted for about a week.

September 17-20, 2023 - This was overnight trip
number 52 and was for four days and three nights. This trip was all about
working on the B corner section of the mountain. The view of the reservoir is
even more incredible. This trip was extremely difficult since it poured every
afternoon including the day we arrived at the mountain. We could not even unpack
and thought about returning home but instead went to a local grocery store and
bought food and drinks. Because of the rain and being tired we ended up shopping
a couple more times. the three shopping trips cost around 160 bucks but it was
worth it as a relief from exhaustion. The last day really poured and we ended up
working in the rain cutting fairly huge trees with the bow saw. I got bit in the
right arm in two spots close to each other and was either a centipede or a
spider bite. The arm swelled a lot and again between the wrist and elbow. Aside
from the shopping and the nighttime family parties in the bus, it was a
difficult trip.

September 22-24, 2023 - This was overnight trip
number 53 and was for three days and two nights. This trip was all about
working on the B corner section of the mountain once again. The view of the reservoir is
even more incredible now. This trip was much easier and a lot of work was
finished on B and along the street. I got bit in the hand by a brown bee after
catching it with my glove. We went shopping before returning home.

September 29 - October 2, 2023 - This was overnight trip
number 54 and was for four days and three nights. This trip was all about
working on the B corner section of the mountain once again. I got bit on the arm
by the small black wasp on the first day of the trip same as a few weeks before.
My arm swelled up from my wrist to my elbow again but really awful. This trip
was the autumn full moon viewing holiday and was really nice. Much of the trip
was spent cutting understory trees and raking the property on the other side of
the road in an attempt to reduce mosquitoes, reduce bee and wasp nests, and to
let in more light during the cooler months. |
