Default Much better day at the camp

After the huge disappointment last weekend at the camp we decided that we weren't going to be beat by the marsh again. We did a quick tune up on the mud boat during the week and headed out again Sunday morning. The hyacinth around the launch was a lot less thick than last week. It still looked like a pasture of it, but it was starting to die and largely broken down. We ran through it a couple of times to help break it up some more and then headed to the camp. It was still thick as Hell around there so we sprayed it after doing a few [asses through it. We had 2 weedeaters that worked this time so we were able to clean up around the camp and sprayed all around there as well.

We decided to brave the rain and see if we could make it to the blinds, and see just how bad our ponds would be. Getting to the blinds proved to be a chore, but that Olds 307 was up to the test! With a little finess and machete work we plowed our way through basically mud and rozos and opened up the cuts to the blinds. That was a freaking blast!! That old boat suprised the Hell out of us. We were shocked to get to the first blind and see open water. Our ponds were for the most part clean, albeit SHALLOW. A few passes helped that out.

We only had enough time to make it to two blinds because with the cuts being overgrown, it took a while to make it to them. I'm feeling a Hell of a lot better after this trip though. Now that we opened the cuts, we are just going to have to make sure that the hyacinth doesn't make it's way into our ponds. We also towed back two boats my wife's grandpa had out there and told us we could have.
