Sunkhaze

Sunkhaze Boundaries Team

Who would have thought that a Hannaford parkinglot would be so lively at 6:35 in the morning? I waited there bright and early for my supervisor to pick me up so we could be on our way to Sunkhaze. It was about a 2 hour drive to a long dirt road. We met up with the rest of the crew and some workers from M & N and Spectra before we set off into the woods.

We were doing boundaries. Its basically a day spent in the woods with mosquitos cutting branches, ensuring that there is a clear pathway along the Refuge boundary. This is to avoid misunderstandings among hunters where hunting is and is not allowed.

Lunch was awesome. The fantastic people from Spectra provided us with pizza and probably the largest salads I've ever seen from a local shop. They even donated a generous amount of money to the Friends Of Maine!

Part of the Refuge property line runs along the backyards of many houses. That was an interesting run. Apparently there was a bear roaming the area not too long before we came up. We later found out that was result of all the trash and dirty diapers that we found scattered throughout our paths. At the time though, we thought that all the residents of the street were too lazy to hit up the local dump that happens to be located on the same road...
