International Appalachian Trail
Cotton Joe's Work Trip to Newfoundland
Hey everybody, hope all is well where ever life has you for now.

Newfoundland has been great. The work has be fun and very demanding, but to be able to work in the backcountry of mountains here is very rewarding.

I'm about to head out on 5 mile road to South West Feeder Gulch to take a row boat in to the Pond there and try to find a cabin that's suppose to be there. If not we still are bringing are tents.

Over the next 5 days we will be marking the trail going up the ridge and coming back to cut it later on in the week. All and all everything has been going great. On my last work trip, we hiked over the Flat Hills to Square Pond to build the Cabin there and got to see over 400 Caribou in one day. It was just one of those days you try to desribe to others but never can the right words to give it justice. Even got to see the northern lights that night faintly.

Got the first section of the cabin somewhat finished before a storm rolled in so had to settle with just putting ply wood up for the roof for now. It was suppose to be a gable roof, but that will be put on next year.

Well wish i could write more but I low on time here, so just wanted to drop a line and say what's up to everybody. Be good and just Be!
