Survey Leader's Comments |
Today's volunteer forgot about this mornings originally planned
adventure, so I chose to do this segment instead. Starting at the east end
of Livingston Bay, I worked my way eastward as far as I felt was safe.
Since I am largely looking for shoreline modifications, I had to walk in
the logs along the shoreline instead of further out where the logs were
stable, or where I could have walked on the ground (mud?) Eventually, the
logs just became too unstable.
An excerpt from my e-mail soliciting help to continue this adventure on
another day:
West from the Livingston Bay access, the logs got deep and
loosely stacked. It was slow going. I began to think that if I fell and
broke something, it could be days till I was found, even after a
cell-phone call. Not that that would be so bad, but I would loose all
that time, waiting to be found, that I could have been continuing to
limp/hobble/crawl around the rest of the island. I need to have someone
along to wave in the rescue ship, so that I would be able to get back to
work, rather than waiting to heal on the spot.
I eventually got out of the bay by following the drainage canal back to
a deer trail, and eventually back to the Livingston Bay community and my
car. Now, off to the afternoon adventure. |
