Survey Leader's Comments
Todays 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.
