ANTs in the pANTry !!

It's interesting when teams leave to see what kinds of goodies they leave behind, especially on days like today, when there is no one else here at camp so I really am fending for myself! I went to raid the dining hall to see what I could find.

What I found surprised me! I noticed some movement on top of the fridge where various snacks and cereal had been left. I was not the only one to notice though. The top of the fridge seemed to come alive as I began to move things around a bit. It seems that thousands of little black ants were having a feast gorging on a not exactly closed bag of raisins!!!

I was grateful that they weren't interested in biting me as I tried to convince them to evacuate the area! 20 minutes later there were fewer and fewer little black dots still moving around the dining hall --- and I, as a good missionary, was storing the raisins away in the fridge -just in case there were more ANTs in the pANTry...

Mullins Temporary Bridge Washes Out

For those who have been here and understand the scenario a bit better - the culvert bridge that was built here at the Mullins River - washed away early this morning - after more rains in the hills. It is not surprising since the temporary bridge was only some plastic culverts with gravel piled on top - but it does mean that once again - people on the other side of the bridge are stranded.
