Remains of a shipping crate, with the name of the station stenciled on it.

So we made our way out to Middle Island for the last time today. It’s been a fun, quick two weeks. Anyways for our last day everyone was going around mapping the last things that need to be mapped down. Wayne Lusardi and Andy Weir finally finished mapping the main and boat house and it turned out really good. While they were finishing that Stephen Riordan and I mapped the boat launch and the shield. After that Stephen and I went around the island picking up the flags that we used to mark out artifacts and buildings that had already fallen. Once we finished that up we all broke for lunch and was joking around about some of the injuries that occurred along the way. We were all surprised no one cut themselves while cropping brush down. When Stephen and Wayne finished their lunch they both hopped in the lake to cool down. While they were swimming I started to pack up all the things early so it would be easy to leave and Andy took some last minute pictures. Then Andy and I went to finish the cistern and took some final measurements. When we finished up we all took a last glance at Middle Island before packing the rest of the stuff and headed to the boat. I had a great time on Middle Island, could have done without some of my injuries, like my nail through the foot and the poison ivy that I still have, but in all it was a great experience that I’m glad I had the chance to do. Met some great people on the way and have lots of memories but it’ll be good to go home.
