Day 6: Clagett part 2

Van Life


After an intense experience at the courthouse, the team returned to Clagett a second time to plant more trees. This experience was very similar to the first time, but the work remained satisfying as ever. Because of our experience from the previous days, we were able to plant over one thousand trees! We even started running out of mulch, so wood pellets were used as a substitute.


The wood pellets were crunchy


When we had emptied the last truckload of soil, we headed to the section of Clagett where the livestock were kept to meet the cows and sheep. These animals had very distinct personalities and were much more exciting than your average farm animals.


My new friend


The sheep were especially vocal and very affectionate. They would approach us for pets and were extremely soft as sheep tend to be. To be honest, they were substantially friendlier than most dogs I have met, but when you consider that roughly fifty percent of dogs try to attack me it doesn't mean much.


Bradley and the cows

The cows, on the other hand, were silent and shy. They had beautiful long fur and many of us desperately wanted to pet them, but the picture above is the closest anyone managed to get.

Whatever happened during the rest of the day is still a blur. I think we may have eaten a lot of seafood at a really nice restaurant. Or maybe I was the only one who ate a lot. I am still recovering from my food coma so it's hard to recall.
