Day 3

Another glorious day on the Granite Rooster Ranch. With another 830 wake up and 9 o’clock start to the work day we picked up right where we left off. A quick meeting with Trask before traveling the trails to the Christmas Tree patch. We made some more mapping plans and pinpointed a good place to end the rows of trees. Right back to it we began digging and planting more saplings. A short day today due to athletic events going on for the four of us. We got a good few hours of work done and the patch is looking awesome. Finished up the day by watering all of the saplings and taking the Kawasaki back to the house, Then off to sports. 

Total Hours of Work: 3

Entry 13 May 22nd, 2023 Charlie Maloney Day 14 We’ve accomplished our goals, we did it. Today we went on campus. We worked with Greg today in the wood shop and found a solid piece of wood to use for our trail signs. We used the saw to cut the wood to length of 18x6 and they looked great. We ran them through the planer, talked with trask about what we want to engrave on them. We got into communication with spence who unfortunately wasn’t on campus today so we are going to get them engraved and then hung up tomorrow.  Hours of Work Today: 1.5 Total Hours of Work: 56.5

We ended clearing the land and made a perfect patch. We ended planting over 100 Christmas trees and left trask in a good position.  Christmas trees was checked off and we moved on to clearing a new path off the backside of the platform. It is an old logging road that was overgrown by new trees and brush of all kinds. We eventually cleared the road all the up to a cliff that looks over a nice view. So we cleared that in all directions to make a nice big camp ground.  We are going to make road signs for the new paths that go around the property using the laser engraver at school. This project has been great and this week was another really good time. We walked around tonight with Mel’s friend Sonny. He is a tree expert and we learned a lot about the trees that are in the woods. Along with lots of k
