Winter Excursion 9, Day 88 The Life of a Camp Host

First day "on" and the maintenance crews (tree crews) showed up at 0800 and had the saws running by 0830! It is very interesting to watch them. They start at the bottom of the tall pine tree in the bucket and limb the tree on the way up with a pole saw. Then they get their chain saw out and cut about 6 foot lengths off on the way back down. Here's a few pics.
Notice the log falling that he just cut. And yes that is a power line just under him!
In all they are cutting about 30 trees. It makes a huge mess in the campground and we have park crews from High Falls State Park cleaning it up. They are stacking all this wood in a huge pile not far from our site. The plan is to eventually burn this pile. We hope we are gone when they do. Notice our satellite dish near the pile.
There are no campers in the park and there won't be any for two days. Hopefully all this debris is cleaned up by then.
We did laundry in the afternoon. Host duties were easy as the bathhouses and campsites are not being used.
