so what's it like not having the internet for a week? well weird at first and then you get used to it and then when it comes back on you realize you need to get caught up... so that's what i shall do...
the biggest wetlands clean up EVER!! we have come a long way in restoring this beautiful place
we surprised a killdeer on its nest and had heard some serious complaining as we walked by as careful as we could... hoping we wouldn't squash it's eggs and can you believe we didn't? look at these eggs!! (yes that's it's nest in the middle of the road)
what is really cool about having camp fire kids out at the wetlands is that it was my DREAM to merge my two favorite nonprofit groups together so that each helps the other. camp fire usa (and organizations like it) are struggling to survive, people feel its too expensive to have their kids in a program that requires commitment year after year (actually camp fire is super cheap for what you get) or any kind of commitment seems overwhelming and of course, the wetlands are off the radar so few people are aware of the life and death struggle going on between the fragile soil/plants/animals and urban development. camp fire kids + los cerritos wetlands = friends forever.
