Although Steve had thought he would be up there on Saturday they apparently were not. I went up there today expecting to see them today, but the place doesn't look like there has been any change since I was there last week and they were not there today either.
I managed to get a shovel out of our storage facility last week and I took it up there today. Since there wasn't anything to take pictures of or to watch (since they were not there doing anything) I picked up trash for a couple of hours and then took out my disappointment on the pine trees!
I used the shovel to dig up about 18 of the little rascals! That wasn't as easy as I'd hoped since there are so many rocks in the ground down there (on the slope down the hill) it was hard to do the digging at all. Also, since I didn't have any hatchet or axe I had to dig deep enough to allow me to use the shovel to pry the roots with the shovel and pull them out. The roots of those darn things go way down and they're tough.
Anyway, I got out about 18 of them, but I have a lot to go. I wish I had my chain saw so I could cut down the large ones, but it's so far back in the storage facility I can't even see where it is and climbing over the stuff is not really an option for me since I'd kill myself and probably break some of the things in there.
I don't know when Steve and his crew is coming back. :-(
More reports later....
