Well it's definitely that time of summer again when New Jersey enters the rain forest like climate of high humidity and temperature, but Team Swamp Dog is resiliently holding up well! Today, like other days, began with a stretch circle at Hoffman Park and then a group game that consists of everyone kneeling in a circle and arranging your hands in a confusing manner and slapping the group. Trey Songz and I were the last two and we went to a Vegetable off... I think we were supposed to be "Cantankerous Cucumbers" or something and I won! Woo! Next we drove to our site and decided we needed another round of waking up so Arielle and I introduced the crew to Ninja Lumberjack ... or we should have called it Chicken Lumberjack because our crew's ninja noises sound suspiciously chickeny! Zachariah won this game over Taylor by being a more convincing "Suspicious Celery"! Next, Zachariah, Ben, Taylor, and myself started off the morning with a log lugging warm up while the others continued tread work (some benching to make the trail wider) and a few people chopped more trees for more check steps! Tread work got especially hard today in the New Jersey rain forest so after lunch, we switched from tread to check steps... we completed three after lunch alone, not including the two check steps Zach and Brittany finished before lunch! GO SWAMP DOGS!
Tomorrow we have another wicked hot day coming so we're planning on blasting through our remaining eight check steps and doing some serious environmental education, sponsor letter writing, and picnic planning!
That's all for now....

P.S. I totally have/had pictures from my phone to upload but they are currently lost on my sister's computer somewhere so I have to search and find them soon! You won't be disappointed!
P.S.S. Let's play a game... what rhymes with FINE!?
